FOUR projects across the region have been awarded funding through the $5m second round of the National Landcare Program Environment Small Grants.
“I am proud to congratulate the four recipients who will be receiving Australian Government grant funding to deliver natural resource management activities that will improve the quality of our local environment in the Limestone Coast,” Member for Barker Tony Pasin said.
“Through the National Landcare Program Environment Small Grants opportunity, the Australian Government is investing $5m through one-off grants of between $5000 and $50,000 in community projects, which deliver at the local level, but contribute to national environment priorities.”
Mr Pasin said the government was looking forward to working with the recipients to help protect, rehabilitate and restore environmental assets in the communities.
“I am delighted to hear our community members are taking up this opportunity to address the environmental issues that matter most to them,” he said.
“We all have a role to play in natural resource management and we can all contribute to the protection and restoration of our local environment.”
The successful projects funded under the National Landcare Program Environment Small Grants range from invasive pest and weed management to revegetation and erosion control efforts.
