WILDLIFE HABITAT FUND

The Wildlife Habitat Fund was created in response to a bequest with the objective to create habitat for wildlife. It supports projects and grassroots, on-ground projects on public and private land.

The Southwest Environment Alliance invite private landholders who live in the project area to apply for up to $10,000 of funding to create habitat for wildlife.

Landowners are in a unique position to create change and turn Australia’s wildlife crisis around. Being part of the solution is easier than you think. Results could be seen within our lifetime.

To apply, simply follow the three-step application process.
