Land for Wildlife

For the past 5 years, Greening Australia has coordinated the Land for Wildlife program to help landowners improve wildlife habitat on their properties. 

Due to lack of funding Greening Australia can no longer afford to coordinate the program in Queensland.  The state coordination of Land for Wildlife has therefore been put on hold while funding opportunities are sought.

However, Land for Wildlife is still available in certain areas of Queensland.  If you are in one of the listed areas below and would like to become a Land for Wildlife member then please contact the corresponding organisation.
