As part of our bushfire recovery program, the Great Eastern Ranges in partnership with CEN/Land for Wildlife is seeking Expressions of Interest from fire-impacted landholders within the Shoalhaven region for funding up to $2,000 (subject to eligibility as below) for efforts to restore and reconnect native habitat.

Funds are available to support a range of on-ground activities including:

1. Installing fencing to protect remnant native vegetation.
2. Controlling weeds to improve the quality and extent of habitat for native wildlife.
