2022 Victorian Junior Landcare and Biodiversity Grants

The Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning and Landcare Australia have partnered for a fifth year to deliver the 2022 Victorian Junior Landcare and Biodiversity Grants program.

In 2022, $381,288 in funding has been granted to support 110 projects across the state, with Victorian primary and secondary schools, kindergartens, pre-schools, childcare centres, Scouts and Girl Guides, and youth groups invited to apply for grants of up to $5,000 each.

Delivered through Landcare Australia’s Junior Landcare program, funded projects are helping the next generation of Landcarers to protect biodiversity through on-ground action that improves and restores habitat for Victoria’s native plants and animals. Projects include activities that provide both environmental and educational outcomes, along with health and social benefits.

The grants also contribute to the targets of Protecting Victoria’s Environment – Biodiversity 2037, the Victorian Government’s plan to stop the decline of our native plants and animals and improve our natural environment.
Grant recipients will be completing their projects by August 2023. We look forward to seeing their educational, environmental and social outcomes!

Since the Victorian Junior Landcare and Biodiversity Grants were first introduced in 2018, 461 projects have already received $1.68M in funding from the program.
