Recently, we invited viewers to nominate a degraded environmental site to be part of a special Landcare environmental makeover. We have received hundreds of nominations from across the country. The nominations were narrowed down to 20 finalists, and from those 20 finalists a winner was chosen (see below). A dedicated team from Landcare Australia, Burke's Backyard and Backyard Blitz will soon be working alongside community volunteers to help repair the area. Burke's Backyard and Environmental Blitz will be screened on the Nine Network later this year.
