A moment to process…
On the 9th of January 2026, Harcourt was impacted by a fire that has significantly impacted our beautiful town and surrounds.
From the bottom of our hearts Harcourt Valley Landcare would like to thank the CFA, DEECA and all the other services, and community members who fought the fires.
We grieve with those who've lost their homes, pets and livestock. We grieve with Djaara people for their djandak/Country. We grieve for our backyards and properties that linked us to nature, and the old-growth trees that anchored the landscape and provided hollows for so many animals. We grieve for the biodiversity that surrounded us and the time we spent nourishing and growing that biodiversity.
We are giving our members a moment to process what has unfolded. We’ll be back to support our community regroup and regrow shortly. We look forward to reconnecting, sharing information, running workshops and getting back into working bees. Watch this space…
