Project grants are available to environmental volunteer groups, including Landcare groups and networks, Friends groups, Conservation Management Networks, committees of management, Coastcare groups and First Nations groups.

The grants aim to improve local parks, waterways and reserves, and will help to protect and grow our natural environment and native species, making our parks more beautiful for Victorians to get out and enjoy.

State Member for Euroa Annabelle Cleeland encourages local volunteer groups to apply.

“These grants offer an excellent chance for our local environmental volunteers to create meaningful change in our communities,” Ms Cleeland said.

“By backing hands-on projects and fostering community involvement, we can improve our parks, waterways and reserves for the enjoyment of future generations.

“As a regional MP, I understand the vital role Landcare plays in promoting sustainable land management practices, improving biodiversity, and enhancing the health of our local ecosystems.”

Recipients can use the grants under the following categories:

On-grounds works: revegetation, artificial habitat creation, weed control, pest plant and animal control, protective fencing, and soil stabilisation
Community education and engagement activities: property planning courses, field days, education events, demonstration sites, and knowledge-gathering , such as surveys
Group/network development activities: developing a strategic plan, succession planning, and expanding the volunteer base

Applications close on April 16, 2025.
