🌱💧 QWaLC Member Groups – Making a Real Difference in Queensland! 🌏🌿
Since its establishment 21 years ago, Queensland Water and Land Carers (QWaLC) has been the backbone of grassroots environmental action across the state. Founded to unite and support local groups passionate about caring for Queensland’s land and waterways, QWaLC has evolved into a thriving network connecting volunteers, staff, and partner organisations for greater impact.
