Intrepid Landcare

Intrepid Landcare is a national network of initiatives led by young people who are working in the space of environmental conservation and sustainable agriculture.

Co-founded by National Young Landcare Ambassadors Megan Rowlatt and Naomi Edwards, Intrepid Landcare aims to provide a common space to connect, inspire and empower young Australians to join local environmental initiatives in their communities and across the world.

The concept builds on the highly successful Illawarra and Gold Coast Intrepid Landcare models, which are connecting young people across the Illawarra and Gold Coast regions to adventurous conservation projects in Landcare and other environmental movements.

Intrepid Landcare pushes the boundaries of the traditional Landcare model in Australia and has evolved into a highly dynamic, multifaceted initiative that embraces the energy, passion and creativity of young people in communities across Australia. By focusing on equipping young Australians with the right knowledge and experiences they can contribute, drive and lead environmental initiatives that are relevant and interesting to them.

Intrepid Landcare educates, enables and inspires young people in communities to contribute to environmental volunteer opportunities all over Australia and the world.

With our partners, we provide a platform to promote all environmental volunteer opportunities for young people across Australia.

Through our Intrepid Landcare Leadership retreats, workshops and resources we aim to build the capacity of local and regional Landcare networks and young people in communities across Australia to harness their passion for the environment, connect youth with local and national environmental mentors, and help identify local on-ground projects that they can contribute to in their local area.

We also offer the assistance to help set up a sustainable on-going local support network for young people and offer coaching services to young leaders to drive local projects and initiatives in their communities.

We believe now is the time to embrace a way forward to inspire young Australians to connect with their local communities and protect the environment, but not ignore the fun stuff along the way. Protecting the environment is bloody hard work, but it can be damn good fun too ;)

Join the adventure!
