Woolworths Junior Landcare Grants up to $1,000
Woolworths, in partnership with Landcare Australia, is offering over a million dollars in grants to schools and early learning centres for more Aussie kids to get involved in outdoor learning projects. Schools across Hills District are encouraged to apply for the latest round of grants.
The Woolworths Junior Landcare Grants support projects with a focus on sustainable food production, improving waste management or enhancing native habitats.
Last year, Tower Street Public School in New South Wales used its grant to create a ‘Crunch and Sip’ garden, where students selected in-season fruits and vegetables to plant, helped design the garden beds and plant the seedlings.
Woolworths Hills District NSW State Manager, Matthew Spiteri, said: “The Woolworths Junior Landcare Grants program is all about supporting fun and engaging learning experiences that can help younger generations connect with natural environments.
“Our store team across Hills District have been proud to connect with local schools who have previously been awarded a grant. It’s been great to hear how the funding has helped enhance local school communities and support students as they get outdoors and learn more about the local environment.”
