The purpose of the Natural Heritage Fund is to assist and actively encourage the Rodney District community to manage, protect and enhance biodiversity, indigenous vegetation and wildlife habitats.
Community initiatives are expected to have clear and enduring environmental benefits.
The Fund is not intended to support natural heritage restoration or enhancement activities that will result in private or economic gain.
How to apply for the Natural Heritage Fund
Applicants are required to submit two completed copies of the application form and all supporting information to Council.

Applications for approval of funding less than $2,000 will be evaluated by Council staff throughout the year under delegated authority.
