If you have found sick or injured wildlife, contact Australian Wildlife Hospital-Emergencies.

We have rescue vehicles and hospital staff on call to attend to animal emergencies and our hospital has a dedicated group of wildlife experts to ensure efficient care.

The landcare movement started in 1985, although as early as the 1940s community groups were getting together to tackle some of the local environmental issues. Gympie & District Landcare Group was started 3 years after the movement began, in 1988, by some of our local graziers making it one of the oldest Landcare groups in Queensland. The group was established to promote responsible land management in the region covering Gympie City, Widgee Shire, Kilkivan Shire, Tiaro Shire and other small outlying communities in the region. During the following decade Gympie & District Landcare assisted with the formation of independent Landcare groups and when Gympie City and Widgee Shire amalgamated into Cooloola Shire the group focused its activities within the new Cooloola Shire. Gympie District Landcare Group won the Community Group category at the 1999 Queensland Landcare Awards and was a finalist at the 2000 National Landcare Awards and winner of the 2001 Queensland NHT Rivercare Award. In March 2000 we became the first Landcare group in Australia to be inscribed onto the federal government's Register of Environmental Organisations. We are a not-for-profit member-based organisation that became an incorporated association in 1991. We have a rich 30-year history of strong community support that enables us to fulfill our vision of leaving a legacy of sustainable land care management in the Gympie region. Our purpose is to support and inspire landowners to practice sustainable land stewardship. We do that by providing: Education about sustainable land use and environmental biodiversity best practices. Contract services & support for sustainable land care. Native plants and knowledge through our nursery. Insects for bio-control purposes, particularly for organic and chemical free landowners.
