Grab your Enviromental Community Grant
Applications have opened for the third funding round of the State Government’s Environmental Community Grants Program - and $1.53 million is up for grabs.
Be quick - applications must be submitted by April 7, 2011.
The grants are part of a $6 million four-year program, and $3 million has already been distributed.
There are eight categories of grants, including biodiversity conservation; sustainable catchment management; interpretation and sustainable recreation in natural areas, regional parks and Bush Forever sites.
The State Government will also support the many dedicated wildlife rehabilitators who provide a vital service to the community, with grants of $500 available for individuals and up to $5,000 for incorporated groups.
Funding will be available for projects which rehabilitate, conserve, enhance or restore natural areas or values, as well as for activities that raise public awareness for nature conservation at a local level.
Priority will be given to projects sponsored by community and not-for-profit organisations and local governments will also be eligible to apply for funding under the program.
Preference will be given to projects which establish new, or strengthen existing, partnerships with local governments, State Government agencies, community groups and organisations.
Application forms can be downloaded from www.dec.wa.gov.au, or obtained by phoning 9442 0300.
