The Victorian Junior Landcare and Biodiversity Grants are now open, with $450,000 available for projects that involve young people actively caring for Victoria’s biodiversity and natural environment.
Schools, kindergartens, childcare centres and youth groups can all apply for grants of up to $5000 for projects that encourage young Victorians to learn more about the state’s plants, wildlife and nature through hands-on activities or classroom learning.
All initiatives funded as part of the grants program help deliver on the Victorian Government’s long-term plan to protect Victoria’s native plants and animals through the landmark Biodiversity 2037 Plan, backed by record investment of $582 million since 2014 to safeguard our natural environment.
Applications close at 3pm on June 14. For information and to apply, visit www.environment.vic.gov.au/grants/victorian-junior-landcare-and-biodiversity-grants
