What is landcare?

It is people working together to take care of the land.

Successful landcare initiatives provide a range of economic, environmental, and social benefits (the triple bottom-line) for landowners, local communities, and global society. The key to successful landcare projects and the movement as a whole is cooperation and partnership among multiple stakeholders at multiple scales. Landcare takes place in urban, suburban, rural, and wilderness areas—in forests and on farms, in backyards and on city streets, in parks and throughout watersheds—all places where people live, work, and play.

The purpose of this website is

1. to promote the art, science, and practice of landcare
2. to build the capacity of the landcare movement and landcare projects at local, regional, and global scales.
