The funding is part of the 2019-20 Victorian Landcare Grants and aims to support programsrestoring and protecting the natural environment in the Campaspe region.
“I would like to congratulate the grant recipients, because it is projects like these make a significant contribution to both the environment and the economy,” Member for Northern Victoria Mark Gepp said.
“It’s great to see the Victorian Government invest in landcare in the Campaspe district so local communities can enjoy our precious natural environment for years to come.”
Throughout the past four years, the Victorian Government has provided more than $149 million to protect Victoria’s biodiversity, supporting native and threatened species through a range of on-ground initiatives and funding.
The funding focuses on protecting and managing a range of native plants and animals, threatened species and habitats through collaborative planning, increased engagement and alignment of natural resources, scientific, educational and community sectors.
Landcare is a key component of the Victorian Government’s plan Protecting Victoria’s Environment - Biodiversity 2037, which sets out the strategy to stop the decline of native plants and animals and ensure the environment is healthy, valued and cared for.
