The NSW Environmental Trust is calling for applications to the Protecting our Places program. The aim of this program is to protect land that is culturally significant to Aboriginal people, and to support education projects about the environment and its importance in Aboriginal life.

Grants of between $2,000 and $35,000 are available, with a total of $500,000 being offered under the program in 2012. Applications close on Friday 1st June 2012.

The objectives of the Protecting our Places Program are:

to restore or rehabilitate Aboriginal land or land that is culturally significant to Aboriginal people, and

to educate Aboriginal and other communities about the local environment and the value Aboriginal communities place on their natural environment.

Organisations that have previously received a Protecting our Places grant may not be eligible to apply, unless the Trust has received all progress and final reports for any previously Trust funded projects.

Further information on the program, including all application details, are available by contacting the NSW Environmental Trust:
