Kids Involved with Junior Landcare.
Coastal Dry Tropics Landcare Inc. is active with nurturing the next generation of environmental stewards right here in Townsville.
Through our Junior Landcare initiatives, we offer children and young people exciting ways to connect with nature. They can play a vital role in caring for our unique local environment.
Inspired by Landcare Australia’s national program, our activities and resources help kids make a tangible difference. We connect families, schools, and community groups with:
- Engaging educational materials
- Ideas for hands-on environmental projects
- Opportunities to link with other environmental initiatives
Junior Landcare activities are flexible – perfect for use at home, enriching the school curriculum, or as part of a youth group program. By participating, children can:
- Develop awareness: Understand local environmental topics and the importance of sustainability.
- Feel empowered: Gain confidence to take meaningful steps towards protecting and restoring our natural spaces.
- Become active citizens: Engage with their community and grow into future leaders in environmental care.
We help you access fantastic, age-appropriate learning resources (often aligned with the school curriculum) suitable for kindergartens, primary schools, OSHC programs, and youth groups. These resources help children, educators, and parents explore important topics like:
- Growing food sustainably
- Understanding local biodiversity
- Learning from First Nations perspectives on Caring for Country
- Managing waste wisely
Coastal Dry Tropics Landcare Inc. aims to bring practical, inspiring environmental education to life across Townsville. Junior Landcare provides hands-on experiences, helping children build knowledge and a lasting connection to protecting our precious coastal dry tropics environment.
