UPDATE: The 2025 National Landcare Conference is set to kick off on the Gold Coast from September 21 to 24, 2025, bringing together over 500 delegates passionate about sustainable agriculture and environmental conservation. Fiona Simson, former chair of the National Farmers Federation and current vice president of the World Farmers’ Organisation, will deliver the keynote address, marking a significant moment for landcare advocates nationwide.
This biennial gathering, organized by Landcare Australia, is a crucial event for individuals committed to environmental stewardship. It provides a platform for landcare volunteers, First Nations Peoples, farmers, and academics to engage in vital discussions around nature repair, biodiversity restoration, and emerging environmental markets.
Famed Gardening Australia host Costa Georgiadis will return as the conference MC, energizing the event with his enthusiasm for landcare. “The National Landcare Conference is a key calendar event for people right across the country who care deeply about the environment,” Georgiadis stated. “It brings together hundreds of passionate individuals from all walks of life, different backgrounds, and ages, yet share the same passions.”
The conference promises a packed agenda, featuring more than 100 speakers and diverse sessions including panel discussions, immersive field trips, and the inaugural Landcare Short Film Festival. On the opening day, attendees can participate in the First Nations Landcare Gathering and the NextGen Landcare Summit, fostering intergenerational dialogue on landcare practices.
