Communities for Nature Grants Announced

The Victorian Coalition Government has announced the 80 successful projects for the Communities for Nature Small Grants 2012

The Minister for Environment and Climate Change Ryan Smith recently announced the 80 groups receiving funding of up to $10,000 each, totalling up to $700,000, for small projects focusing on practical actions to achieve environmental outcomes in their local areas.

More than 260 applications were received for this round of small grants, and the high quality of those applications reflects the significant environmental works being carried out by community groups throughout Victoria.
