Applications are open in Western Australia for grants of up to $2000 that will increase opportunities for the public to learn about forestry, be active in forest areas and contribute to the wellbeing and sustainability of these regional communities. Source: Timberbiz
Since the program started in 2018, the program has delivered more than $134,000 to 74 community organisations – with a further $50,000 worth of grants on offer this year.
Applications are invited from organisations and groups that contribute to regional communities, encourage recreation in State forests or educate the community about the benefits of sustainable plantation forestry.
Last year, grants varying from $1000 to $2000 supported a range of community-based projects including tourism, education and recreation.
Successful applications came from schools, heritage societies, men’s sheds, visitor centres, sports clubs and volunteer bushfire brigades.
The grant application process closes 7 March 2022. For details on how to apply, visit the Community Support Program webpage.
