Join us from 27-29 October for the 2026 NSW Landcare & Local Land Services Conference in Corowa

This year, Landcare and Local Land Services communities from across New South Wales will gather in the riverside town of Corowa, as we leave the big convention centres of the city behind and meet against a backdrop of river red gums and sprawling landscapes.

 

Theme: The Sum of it All

The Sum of It All highlights the core values of Landcare - collaboration, community, care and culture. It reflects strong partnerships forged and the collective effort of people and communities working together to achieve positive, shared outcomes.

Landcare Awards

A highlight of the conference is the New South Wales Landcare Awards and Gala Dinner. Nominations are now open for the 2026 Awards, celebrating the individuals, groups and organisations making a real difference for our land, water, soils, biodiversity and communities. This prestigious biennial program recognises outstanding contributions to environmental stewardship across NSW, with nominations open to self or peer nomination, and closing Friday 31 July 2026. Nominate a Landcare champion today and help shine a spotlight on the people protecting our environment for current and future generations.

What to expect

Picture meaningful conversations by the river, new friendships forming over shared passions, and a buzzing atmosphere full of ideas and possibility. You’ll leave feeling connected, motivated, and ready to take what you’ve learned back to your patch.

Acknowledgement
