Victorian Landcare Grants 2011-12: Call for Applications
Posted on 11 May, 2011 by Connecting Country
The North Central Catchment Management Authority (CMA) is calling for applications for the next round of the State Government’s Victorian Landcare Grants program for (incorporated) community groups to undertake natural resource management (NRM) projects in 2011-12.
The Victorian Landcare Grants Program, previously referred to as the Second Generation Landcare Program, continues to have an emphasis on community capacity building. It is designed to fund projects that enable NRM community groups, networks and their volunteers to undertake effective onground works to increase ecosystem resilience and contribute to sustainable landscapes.
The grants program will fund activities that align to the categories of:
- Supporting community volunteers and leveraging community action
- Positively influencing the management practices of private landholders
- Building the skills and capacity of the community to undertake NRM activities.
There are two grant types available:
- Project grants (up to $20,000)
- Maintenance and start up grants (up to $1,000)
Applications close 5pm Monday 27 June 2011
