In its inaugural year, the Working for Nature/Mahi mō te
Taiao fund has awarded environment grants to 20 projects
across Marlborough to protect and restore native
habitats.
In November, the Council received 34
applications from community groups and landowners from
small-scale plantings in forgotten vineyard corners to wide
scale goat control in the Marlborough Sounds.
Four
projects were fully funded with the other 16 co-funded by
other sources. Overall, more than $200,000 was requested
which exceeded the $70,000 fund in its first year. The next
round of applications will open in the second half of 2021
and see the fund increased to $90,000.
