Supporting young Victorians to care for our natural environment
Grants up to $5,000 are available for projects that involve and educate young Victorians in valuing and caring for Victoria’s native plants, animals and natural environment.
Funding is on offer for hands-on projects and / or learning activities with a biodiversity focus.
The $450,000 of grants are open to all schools, kindergartens, childcare centers, Scouts, Girl Guides, Junior Landcare groups and youth groups in Victoria.
The first round of the Victorian Junior Landcare and Biodiversity Grants was in 2018, and since then the four rounds of these grants have funded 461 projects.
Past projects funded by the Junior Landcare and Biodiversity Grants include:
- enhancing or restoring habitat using indigenous plants to attract birds and insects
- a biodiversity-focused excursion to a wildlife sanctuary or National Park
- monitoring native animals in a local area and contributing the results to a citizen science program, such as the Atlas of Living Australia or Waterwatch
- working with a local Landcare group to plan and deliver a weed control project to protect the local biodiversity
- see complete list of previously funded projects below.
These projects support the delivery of Protecting Victoria's Environment - Biodiversity 2037, Victoria’s 20-year plan to stop the decline of our native plants and animals and improve our natural environment.
The grants are funded through DELWP's Victorian Landcare Program and administered by Landcare Australia as part of its national Junior Landcare Grants program.
