The Morrison Government is backing local communities hit by last year’s bushfires with $10 million in grants for wildlife and habitat recovery through hands on projects from setting up bee hotels and creating community nurseries, to cultural burning and installing nest boxes.
Part of the Morrison Government’s $200 million bushfire recovery for wildlife and habitat package, the grants will fund 88 projects across New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Victoria, Australian Capital Territory and Western Australia.
Minister for Agriculture, Drought and Emergency Management and Deputy Leader of the Nationals David Littleproud said that bushfire recovery for wildlife and habitat package was a key component of the more than $2 billion in assistance through the National Bushfire Recovery Fund.
