Healthy Land & Water and its partners have a new way of showing how we are advance nature-positive solutions across South East Queensland.
Our Chair Stephen Robertson and CEO Julie McLellan launched our first Annual Sustainability Report this month at the South East Queensland Catchments Members Association (SEQCMA) AGM.
Recycling is one of the easiest ways to do your bit for the planet, but it can be tricky to navigate.
By recycling right, you can help keep waste out of landfill, protect the environment and help tackle climate change. The best part? You’ll contribute to preserving our beautiful and biodiverse region in South East Queensland.
Here are some simple ways to become a recycling pro at home, work or school.
Cue hours of laughter and learning.
Healthy Land & Water, the official natural resource management body for South East Queensland, has hit a significant milestone by becoming majority community owned. This marks a pivotal moment in the 25-year history of the successful independent environmental group.
In a major boost for South East Queensland's environmental health, our Land Restoration team has completed an ambitious spring planting plan, with 33,184 native plants now taking root across 19 different sites throughout the region.
Throughout September, Healthy Land & Water’s QFBC team worked in collaboration with the Queensland Fire Department (QFD) to create Property Fire Management Plans for two areas that were affected by bushfires in late 2023: Tara and Ballandean.
In September 2023, the township of Tara lost 54 homes to a large bushfire that burnt out of control for several days. In October 2023, areas from Tenterfield northwards to Ballandean experienced several large bushfires which resulted in the loss of over 21 buildings.
Australia’s commitment to a nature-positive future has gained significant momentum this month, marked by four landmark events within just ten days.
Healthy Land & Water, one of Australia’s largest Natural Resource Management (NRM) organisations, played a pivotal role in each of these events, showcasing their proactive approach to environmental sustainability and biodiversity conservation – and innovative new approaches to scaling up funding to scale up the work needed.
