Boonah and District Landcare

Created in 1989, Boonah and District Landcare is a not-for-profit community group staffed by volunteers. We are committed to helping people in our region learn and do as much as possible to take care of the land sustainably.

Boonah is a town and locality which, in the 2016 census, had a population of about 2,500.

What do they do?

• Their activities include workshops, seminars, field days, guest speakers, working bees, hands-on learning events, volunteering and social gatherings.
