Deadline: 15-Jun-2020
The Western Australian Government is seeking proposals for 2020 Community Stewardship Grants Program to support community-based projects that help conserve, restore, rehabilitate or enhance a local natural area, conserve Western Australian’s biodiversity and maintain or build the capability of Natural Resource Management (NRM) community groups across the State.
The Program builds community capacity in natural resource management, supports on-ground local community action, leverages volunteer effort and other resources and maintains goodwill and engagement developed over many years.
The program assists to maintain or enhance the condition of the State’s land, water (terrestrial and marine) and biodiversity assets so that they continue to provide environmental, social, cultural and economic benefits to Western Australians.
