The many sources of funding for Landcare and other environmental groups include:

• Australian Government (National Landcare Program, Defeating the Weeds Menance etc)
• Local Government - your local Council
• Industry - eg BHP Billiton, Mitre 10 Junior Landcare grants
• Landcare Australia Limited

Applying for funding often involves filling out lengthy application forms, but it is worth spending the time to complete the application correctly as this will increase your chances of securing much needed funding for your project!
