Junior Landcare
Following on from the success of Mitre 10 funded Landcare projects around
Australia, we have extended our support of Landcare by founding the -
The scheme is open to applications from schools and any other youth organisations that wish to make a positive contribution to their local environment. These schools or groups can apply for one of a variety of grants - either by choosing a project from one of the existing Models provided by Landcare Australia, or by creating a plan of their own specifically relating to a local issue or local need. The projects fall under the categories of Waste, Water, Energy, Air and Biodiversity, and cover a range of short-term and long-term projects. The Mitre 10 Junior Landcare Grants Scheme will fund projects under these categories upon approval of application. The types of projects that can be undertaken are specific to the needs of the local area, but could include such projects as native tree planting, implementation of recycling and composting systems, or provision of alternative energy and water systems. The Grants Scheme is student-oriented and student-driven. That is, it gives students the opportunity to recognise where changes need to be made in their local environment, and to then go about making those changes, with appropriate support and funding. The amount of time and effort that groups dedicate to their specific projects will be proportional to the value of the grant being received, and may include a number of preliminary and follow-up learning activities. At Mitre 10, we are proud to be helping Australian kids tackle local environmental issues through our support of Junior Landcare. The scheme will be operational within the community in March 2003 in line with the commencement of the new school year. Full details regarding the application process will be available closer to this date from www.mitre10.com.au
