Bushfire Recovery Restoration Grant - Round 4

The Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife invites applications to support revegetation activities for communities in the Local Government Areas (LGA) listed as impacted by the 2019-20 bushfires.

The grant program aims to provide funding for field projects that will have a direct restoration outcome for the 2019-2020 bushfire impacted LGAs:

• Enable communities to rebuild their local environments devastated by the 2019-2020 bushfires.
• Support the restoration of key habitats and ecosystems needed for healthy landscapes within the LGA’s impacted by the 2019-2020 bushfires.

It also aims to support the FNPW priorities of:

• Protecting our native flora and fauna: Ecosystem regeneration, threatened species protection, and wildlife corridors
• Emergency response: Bushfire Recovery nurseries, tree planting, and biodiversity restoration
• Educating and inspiring: Corporate days, volunteering programs, training

Priority will be given to projects and organisations that:

• are planting 1,000 or more trees sourced from an FNPW bushfire recovery nursery.
• show community or volunteer engagement within the project activities.
• undertake work over a 3ha minimum area, reinforcing areas of existing native vegetation in good condition, including areas adjacent to protected areas, within vegetation corridors and/or riparian zones, or which provide habitat stepping stones.
• support collaboration with Traditional Owners and Indigenous organisations and the engagement of Aboriginal contractors.
