Use this form to submit an expression of interest to join the Land for Wildlife program.
The Land for Wildlife program aims to help landholders look after natural vegetation on their lands. Participation in this project is entirely voluntary. We can assist you by visiting your property, giving you advice on the natural values of your property and how you can manage the natural areas on your land. We can also provide you with advice on incentive programs designed to help landholders and protect vegetation. Other opportunities include workshops, training, networking with other landholders, help with plants, bush regeneration (depending on availability) and advice / help regarding funding opportunities.
Land for Wildlife members receive:
- Free property visit and report from an expert ecologist
- Plant species lists for the property
- A suite of mapping products
- Eligibility for $2,000/year Conservation Partners Grant (funding available for bush regeneration, weeding, fencing, pest animal control, erosion control)
- Sign for front fence
- Wingecarribee Web e-newsletter
- Invitations to local workshops
Interested landholders should complete the Expression of Interest form and their suitability for the program will be assessed. Please note that this will involve a land inspection.
