Take Action for the Land this World Environment Day!

 

 

 

Landcare Australia has recently launched the #Action4theLand World Environment Day campaign and are calling all businesses, schools, community groups and individuals across Australia to take positive #Action4theLand to support this important occasion & make Australia a better place.

 

 

Taking positive #Action4theLand is simple and easy.

 

Step 1 – Go Green for a day! Have everyone in your workplace or school wear something green or dress head to toe in green for the day. Be as creatively green as you feel you can!

 

Step 2 – Fundraise. Host a morning or afternoon tea with some home baked treats, and ask everyone for a $5 contribution to support Landcare Australia’s #Action4theLand World Environment Day campaign. Every dollar you raise by taking part in the #Action4theLand campaign will make a real difference, by directly supporting Landcare groups and projects across Australia.

 

Step 3 – Complete a 60-minute challenge. Gather your colleagues or friends and step out in the world to plant some native trees or remove weeds, run a recycling drive orclean a local park.

 

Step 4 – Take and share some pictures of your achievements after the challenge by using the Landcare hands and post it on social media with #Challenge4theLand. Your photos will then be automatically captured and featured on our #Action4theLand Wall - where you can check out all the activities being done by companies, individuals and schools right around the nation.

 

Step 5 - Don’t stop there! There are hundreds of things you can do every day of the year to protect the crucial land and water that sustains us. Make #Action4theLand a year-round commitment.

 

 

Special note for schools - participating schools will go in the draw to win one of two $500 Junior Landcare grants.
