A popular environmental grant program is now open for applications.
Through the local Murraylands and Riverland Landscape Board, the ‘Grassroots Grant Program’ allows community groups, volunteers and landcare groups to undertake projects that develop the ecological health of regional landscapes.
Frances Simes, the new Chair of the Murraylands and Riverland Landscape Board, encouraged the community to consider ways to improve the sustainability of their local environment.
“Now’s a great time to think about a local project you’d like to tackle – it could be developing a biodiverse shelter belt on farm or removing weeds from a waterway”
Funding is split into three tiers,
- $1 to $1000
- $1000 to $10,000
- Over $10,000
Applications close on the 30th of March, with successful applicants notified in June.
Further details can be found via the landscape board.
