Victorian Landcare Magazine - Summer 2023-24, Issue 86
Are you planning or running a nature, conservation or wildlife group, event, or Landcare project? Find resources to help manage your volunteer team at DEECA’s recently launched Resources Hub for environmental volunteers and Landcarers.
The Hub connects groups with high-quality resources developed by peak bodies and other government departments on topics ranging from health and safety through to First Peoples cultural knowledge.
One such resource is a bespoke Communications Toolkit built for projects just like yours. This toolkit is a practical guide on how to reach new audiences, motivate your volunteers and tips to promote your projects. There are also printable templates for case studies, media releases and communications campaigns to provide practical help.
To explore the Resources Hub go to Resources Hub for environmental volunteers.
