It is intended to direct funds right into the heart of grassroots landcare across Australia.
The $300,000 program will offer grants from $5,000 to $20,000.
All landcare groups and other community-led environmental groups across Australia are eligible to apply.
The grants will support what matters most to landcare groups – using local knowledge to restore, enhance and protect their natural environment, increase biodiversity and help improve community engagement in landcare activities.
Landcare Australia is particularly interested in grassroots projects which galvanise community action to help increase the number of people rolling up their sleeves for conservation projects in their local patch.
Eligible activities include educational workshops, field days, restoring wildlife habitat, creating shelterbelts, installing fences, protecting waterways, managing weeds and feral pests, working with Traditional Owners and First Nations organisations, purchasing plants and equipment, installing signage, among other landcare activities.
