Land for wildlife

Land for wildlife is a voluntary program that encourages and assists landholders to manage wildlife habitat on their properties. Through land for wildlife you can learn about native plants, animals and ecosystems on your property, and get advice on managing threats such as weeds and pest animals.

Land for wildlife welcomes landholders who:

• manage part or all of their property as habitat for native plants and animals
• are interested in integrating nature conservation with other land uses, such as agriculture, grazing or tourism
• have a property with at least 1 hectare (2.5 acres) of native bushland.

The land for wildlife program offers members:

• free land management advice tailored to their property
• follow-up property visits and advice
• free specialist workshops and field days
• access to technical advice
• regular newsletters
• opportunities to meet other like-minded landholders
• access to resources, including government grants and other incentives
• a free land for wildlife sign for registered properties. This sign acknowledges the commitment the landholder is making to nature conservation.
