The Biofund is our flagship program and supports on-ground revegetation and remnant protection. It has been running for twenty years.
It is good value for funders and landholders. Funds are used to pay for tubestock with landholders/managers paying for fencing, site preparation, weed control and planting labour.
Revegetation works can take a number of forms including shelterbelts, buffers around remnant vegetation and waterways, erosion control, habitat plantings and aesthetic/educational plantings.
Applications are via HDLN expression of interest forms and are due each September. Projects are selected using a scoring system, which takes into account environmental benefit, linkages and the number of projects previously completed.
Supported by the Victorian Government’s Landcare Grants via the CCMA.
