Grants Details:

In September 2018, the Victorian Government announced $413,115 of funding to 109 eligible projects for the 2018 Victorian Junior Landcare and Biodiversity Grants, which was delivered in partnership with Landcare Australia.

The grants, of up to $5,000 each (excl GST) support Victorian primary and secondary schools, kindergartens, preschools, childcare centres, scouts and guides and other youth groups, including specialist schools and groups working with culturally and linguistically diverse communities.

Participants in the 2018 Victorian Junior Landcare and Biodiversity Grants undertook a range of activities that allowed schools and groups to connect with nature through both on-ground and educational activities. The grants had a positive impact on students and youth in Victoria, with over 12,000 young Victorians involved in the projects – assisted by a further 2,500 adult volunteers.

The grant recipients planted over 27,000 native plants, and participated in over 400 excursions/incursions.
