Greater Sydney Landcare

Partnering for Cleaner Waterways & Empowered Youth  We’re proud to partner with Clean4shore, a powerful not-for-profit community organisation that removes litter from our rivers and estuaries — while engaging high school students in hands-on environmental action. Clean4shore has now opened its doors to Greater Sydney Landcare’s corporate volunteers, offering a unique opportunity to work along the Hawkesbury River to remove debris and restore local waterways. A portion of every event fee supports the Hornsby LGA school engagement program, helping students get involved in real-world conservation. Through this partnership, you can help high school students from the Hornsby area get out on Country, gain valuable skills, and take part in caring for their local environment.  How you can help: 💠 Organise a Clean4shore event for your team  💠 Or, if you can’t get out of the office, consider making a donation Corporate donations help fund equipment, transport, and safety gear — removing the cost barrier for schools and making these days possible. ✅ Boost your CSR impact  ✅ Support environmental education  ✅ Help clean our local waterways 100% of donations go toward delivering on-ground outcomes for students and the environment. 👉 Learn more or donate here: https://lnkd.in/grdR5BmT #Clean4shore #GreaterSydneyLandcare #CorporateGiving #CSR #EnvironmentalEducation #LitterCleanup #YouthInAction #DonateForImpact #Sustainability #Waterways
