Raymond Borland Bequest Grant Program

Individual grants of up to $30,000 are available to support community groups to undertake projects that will repair degraded non-urban land and inland waterways in NSW. A total of $300,000 in funding is available.

Raymond Borland was a Sydney businessman who became concerned about the extent and severity of landscape degradation which he observed on his travels through country NSW. However he was impressed by the outstanding achievements of local Landcare groups in repairing degraded areas, and resolved to assist future generations to continue this valuable work. His estate provided a bequest to Landcare Australia to be used for rehabilitating degraded natural environments in regional NSW.

Further information on the grants, as well as the application form, are available below. Applications close on Sunday 16 October 2011.
