The beautiful Whitsunday Catchment is located near the heart of the Great Barrier Reef and is home to the major industries of sugar cane, grazing and tourism as well as a growing rural residential population.  What does that have to do with a landcare group?  Everything!

   Whitsunday Catchment Landcare is a not-for-profit community group that works to foster best land and water management practices and promote conservation and rehabilitation of local native flora for the enrichment of our environment and native animal habitat.

What Your Donation Could Do!

Your donation could assist:

• volunteers to collect, propagate and grow local native plants at our Community Nursery such as the vulnerable Black Ironbox and our endemic Whitsunday Bottle Tree;
• community awareness and education events on topics such as native vegetation, water quality, weed identification and control, or which plants are toxic to our endangered Proserpine Rock Wallaby;
• the construction of a fishway to allow native fish species to travel upstream;

  

• rehabilitating habitat, especially creeks and water courses;
• a local landholder to remove weeds and plant native species on their little patch of the world to promote healthy native animal habitat or even help us assist them in making their land a nature refuge for future generations.

In short, your donation will help to protect the beautiful Whitsunday Region for the plants, animals and people who live here, and for the visitors who come to see this iconic landscape.
