Environmental Services
Over the past five years, Pioneer Catchment Landcare’s commercial environmental services arm has grown into a cornerstone of the organisation’s success. Evolving from grant-dependent beginnings, this fee-for-service model now delivers high quality environmental outcomes across the region, ranging from large-scale revegetation and weed management to habitat restoration and ecological monitoring. This growth has not only added significant financial value to the organisation, ensuring long-term sustainability, but also expanded our service offering in line with industry demand.
By investing in the recruitment of skilled professionals and providing comprehensive training to upskill our existing team, we’ve built a workforce that is both highly competent, qualified and trusted, ready to meet the complex ecological challenges of today and tomorrow.
