Promotional materials

Landcare recruitment and promotion pack

Is your group planning a membership drive, community event, or promotional stall? As requested by our members, Landcare Victoria has created a number of materials to promote landcare and help groups recruit new members and volunteers. These materials are offered for free to financial Landcare Victoria Member Groups, in limited quantities.

The promo pack consists of a variety of materials and may include stickers, A4 posters, an A4 flyer explaining what landcare is all about (with space for you to stamp or write in your group's contact details at the bottom), and back copies of the Victorian Landcare & Catchment Management magazine are often available for groups to distribute.

Please note: Items received may differ from those pictured.

Please contact us well in advance of your event to request a promo pack to be sent by post.
