Our Supporters & Partners

King Island Landcare Group (KILG) is a community-led organisation built on collaboration. For more than 30 years, our work has been made possible through the support of funding bodies, project partners, researchers, volunteers, businesses, community groups and landholders who share our commitment to caring for King Island’s unique environment.

We gratefully acknowledge the organisations and individuals who have contributed to KILG’s projects, programs and initiatives over the years. Their financial support, expertise, collaboration, in-kind assistance and community involvement have helped deliver lasting outcomes for biodiversity conservation, sustainable land management, threatened species recovery and community engagement across King Island.

As KILG continues to evolve, so too will this page. While every effort has been made to recognise those who have supported our work, we welcome any updates or corrections to ensure this record reflects the many valued partnerships that have contributed to our success.
