The Huon Valley Council allocates funding every year to support, maintain and advance the Huon Valley’s care network.
The network aims to protect and improve the ecological balance and water quality of the Huon region. It includes Landcare, Bushcare, Coastcare, Rivercare, ‘Friends of’ and Waterwatch groups, as well as schools, community groups and individuals.
The groups work across a variety of land tenures, including council reserves, crown land, private land and school grounds. Volunteers work together on projects such as weeding, planting, collecting and propagating native seeds, walking track construction and maintenance, water quality monitoring, community education, protection of Aboriginal heritage sites, and flora and fauna surveys.
Other care group support available includes access to technical advice, native plants, equipment loans, and assistance with grant applications or other administrative tasks.
