Grants available for Landcare groups
LANDCARE groups and environmental volunteers are encouraged to apply to grants through the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA).
Grants totalling $3.55 million are now on offer, funding projects that make a difference to enhance and protect Victoria’s great outdoors.
Landcare and environmental volunteer groups can apply for grants of up to $20,000 for projects, and $500 for support, from now until April 23.
Last year 509 Landcare and environmental groups across the state shared in $3.56 million in grants, helping fund on-ground works, community education and engagement activities, group development and small grants supporting administrative functions including insurance, incorporation and operational costs.
“It is so important that we support the significant contribution that Landcare and environmental volunteers groups make to our communities managing projects that restore and enhance our parks, coastlines, nature reserve and waterways,” DEECA Director of Environmental Investment and Programs, Lorna Mathieson said.
“These grants continue to be of incredible value to our state and we’re proud to support the work of Landcare and environmental volunteers to protect our environment for generations to come.”
Grants are available to groups such as Landcare and Friends group, conservation management networks, committees of management, Coastcare groups and Traditional Owner or Aboriginal groups and organisations working on Country.
