About Landcare Queensland Limited

Mission
To ensure vibrant towns and cities of the future, with clean air, healthy soils and landscapes and clean and abundant water, we need to learn to live and work differently in a very fragile environment. To really look after the environment, people need information, support and financial assistance to make the right choices.
