Please note this funding round is now closed
Wheatbelt Natural Resource Management Inc. has secured funding from the Australian Government for projects that aim to achieve an environment in the Avon River Basin that is healthier, better protected, well managed, resilient and provides essential ecosystem services in a changing climate.
This is a call for applications in the 2011 Community Small Grants designed to support activities that improve your school and local community's participation and awareness of Natural Resource Management (NRM) in your area.
Wheatbelt NRM is inviting schools, community groups and organisations to submit an application for this incentive scheme. This scheme is suitable for activities up to $15,000. For 2011 projects, your activity will need to be completed and a final report submitted by 30th September 2011 - Please note this date has been extended from prior notifications.
Examples of suitable activities may include, but are not limited to: environmental education initiatives/lectures; school vegetable beds; water harvesting; water conservation. School project applications will be expected to demonstrate how students will be engaged in the proposed activity and how knowledge gained from the project will be disseminated amongst the school and wider community.
