Environmental Groups

• Kuranda Envirocare - Kuranda EniviroCare is a local branch of the Australia-wide LandCare group, and is partly funded by the Australian government. We network with other environmental groups across the Wet Tropics region, including the Atherton Tablelands. We work cooperatively with the local Mareeba Shire Council and all government departments with an interest in natural resources.

• Treat - TREAT is a community based tree planting group operating mainly on the Atherton Tableland in the Wet Tropics Region of far North Queensland.

• Landcare - Landcare is a movement or network of people in Australia who are committed to the more sustainable management and use of our natural resources. It is led by the community, frequently people working together as landcare groups, in partnership with government, community organisations, business and others.

• Greening Australia - The Bushcare web site provides information about the Bushcare program and how it supports community involvement in the management, protection and rehabilitation of Australia's native vegetation.
