The Murraylands and Riverland Landscape Board’s Grassroots Grants program supports the community to undertake projects that build the sustainability and resilience of the region’s natural landscapes and farming land.
Applications close 30 March
The program encourages applications from schools, early education providers and childcare centres to support projects that develop the skills, knowledge and connection of pupils with regional ecology.
Grassroots Grants can be used to fund a range of activities including:
- developing a bush tucker garden, greenhouse or demonstration paddock
- hosting an excursion to a local wetland, national park or farm
- paying for an expert speaker to present in-class
- purchasing equipment or undertaking a project to solve a local environmental issue
- taking students to an agricultural show, field day or research centre
Funding is available across 3 tiers - $1 - $1,000, $1,001 - $10,000 and $10,001+. Projects need to be completed by June 30 2026.
