Applications for the 2025 Victorian Junior Landcare and Biodiversity Grants have now closed

Thank you to everyone who has applied, we know how busy you are. We are reviewing applications and will be in touch to announce the grant recipients during Term 2. All applicants will be contacted regardless of the outcome. 

The Victorian Junior Landcare and Biodiversity Grants program is delivered by Landcare Australia and funded by the Victorian Government’s Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action to provide young Victorians with an opportunity to participate in biodiversity focused learning activities and/or on-ground projects. 

Since 2018, the grants have already provided $2.89 million in funding to over 778 projects across Victoria. This includes projects planting indigenous vegetation to create habitat for Victoria’s native animals, to enabling students to participate in citizen science activities to collect data about the natural environment.

These grants support the delivery 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, so that it is healthy, valued and actively cared for.
