Victorian Landcare Announces Further Grants
Victorian rail trails may benefit from a grant pool of $3.55 million that is available for selected projects that enhance and protect Victoria’s environment. Former rail lines are frequently lined with unique vegetation and these Landcare grants may give successful applicants the opportunity to enhance their rail trails by protecting and increasing local biodiversity.
The grants have 2 project streams:
– Project grants: up to $20,000 for on-ground work, capability building activities, community education and engagement that protects or improves our natural environment such as native vegetation, native fauna, waterways, wetlands, and soils.
– Support grants: up to $500 to assist with costs such as insurance, incorporation and operational needs, or meetings and events or newsletters, websites and other communication.
Grants are open to all Victorian Landcare and environmental volunteer groups and networks that are community-based and have a focus on on-ground land and natural environment improvement work. This includes Friends groups and Committees of Management.
More information can be found here https://www.environment.vic.gov.au/grants/victorian-landcare-grants. Applications close 5pm 16 April.
