The groups from Coonamble to Condobolin and from Wellington to Warren successfully applied for funding under the National Landcare Programme.
The projects are located in the Central West Local Land Services (LLS) region, with chairman Tom Gavel offering his congratulations.
"The mix of intended projects will see landscape and skills improvement laying the foundations for real change," he said.
Calare MP John Cobb recently announced the recipients while at Parkes receiving an on-ground overview of the Central West Lachlan Landcare project by support officer Marg Applebee.
"Over the coming months, Central West Local Land Services will support local groups such as this one in addressing some of the crucial environmental issues facing the region," he said.
LLS general manager Andrew Mulligan also praised the groups, saying the calibre of the applications received showed it was a region that cared about the land.
