Some examples of eligible events are wildlife first aid and fauna rehabilitation training, feral predator control training, night-stalks, nest box construction workshops, fauna survey training workshops, BioBlitz events etc.
All events must be held in the South West NRM region, see strategy.swccnrm.org.au/south-west-nrm-region/, between 1 July 2019 and 20 June 2020.
Groups can apply for funding of up to $2,500 (ex. GST) per event. Groups may apply for funding for a maximum of $2,500 in funding in this grant round. This may be for more than one event.
