Land for Wildlife Program


Are you interested in contributing to the conservation of our unique Australian native plants and animals on your land?

Then the Land for Wildlife program may be for you! Land for Wildlife is a voluntary conservation program for landholders who wish to manage areas of wildlife habitat on their property. This entry-level conservation program encourages and assists landholders to include nature conservation in their land management objectives. The program is free for landholders to join and is not legally binding. Registration in the scheme will not change the legal status of a property. All you need is at least 0.5Ha of good-to-moderate condition native vegetation and an interest in conservation.
 

As a member of the scheme, you’ll receive (free of charge):

  • Information about wildlife management.
  • Information about the role of wildlife and native vegetation in sustainable agriculture to control pest species, provide shade and shelter, manage salinity and control wind and water erosion.
  • Membership links and contacts with like-minded people.
  • Notes and news on relevant land management issues.
  • One free Land For Wildlife sign for your gate.
  • Access to the small grants program.
  • Access to education programs and activities.


Our LFW team will assist landholders with:

  • Site assessments.
  • Advice on suggested management strategies and actions for the property.
  • Support and encouragement for landholders to carry out nature conservation on their land.
  • AcknowledgemeThe Community Environment Network (CEN) facilitates and supports Land For Wildlife in New South Wales in partnership with interested local organisations. CEN provides statewide coordination and the framework for Land for Wildlife. 
  • MC2T Landcare Connection are the Regional Facilitators for the Land for Wildlife program in the MidCoast Region. We work with MidCoast Council (MCC) to deliver the LFW program locally.
  • All information provided by landholders is confidential to the landholder, MC2T, MCC and the State Convenor – the Community Environment Network.
