Congratulations to our local Community Action Grant recipients!
The Australian Government has just announced the recipients of the 2011 Community Action Grants, under the Caring for Our Country program. Community Action Grants offer up to $20,000 to community groups, to help address local priority issues. The Grants generally open around July each year, and are a great opportunity for local groups to get support for important projects and initiatives.
A number of local Murrumbidgee groups were successful, including:
- Bredbo Community Landcare Group - Extension to Jack's Gully (Railway Gully) wildlife corridor
- Kyeamba Valley Landcare Group - Provenance seed collection for property revegetation in the Kyeamba Valley
- Molongolo Catchment Group - Rabbit control in the Molongolo catchment
- Numerall and District Landcare Group - Aid to weed identification and management in the Numeralla community
The full list of successful grant recipients, including details of the projects, is available at: www.nrm.gov.au/cag/cag-projects/2011-12/index.html
If you have an idea for a project, and would like some assistance in applying for a grant such as this, feel free to contact your Regional Landcare Facilitators at any time:
- Nicole Maher (upper and mid catchment): nmaher@murrrumbidgeelandcare.asn.au
