Natural Heritage Trust
Caring for our Country announced
Caring for our Country is the Government's new natural resource management program. Caring for our Country is designed as an integrated package with one clear goal, a business approach to investment, clearly articulated outcomes and priorities and improved accountability. It will commence on 1 July 2008 and will integrate delivery of the Commonwealth's existing natural resource management programs, the Natural Heritage Trust, the National Action Plan for Salinity and Water Quality, the National Landcare Program, the Environmental Stewardship Program and the Working on Country Indigenous land and environmental program.
What is the Natural Heritage Trust?
The Natural Heritage Trust (the Trust) was set up by the Australian Government in 1997 to help restore and conserve Australia's environment and natural resources. Thousands of community groups and organisations have received funding through the Trust for environmental and natural resource management projects.
The Trust provides funding for environmental activities at a community level (through the Australian Government Envirofund), a regional level, and a national and state level.
