DOC Funds Available for Restoration Groups

The DOC Community Fund is now open for applications to support community-led conservation projects on public and private land.

$9.2 million is available for community-led projects protecting our most threatened species and ecosystems.

Community groups play a pivotal role in protecting our native species and their habitats.

By drawing on the strengths and resources of these groups - like volunteer hours, expertise, or co-funding - we can amplify the positive change they create.

The DOC Community Fund is open for applications until 5 pm Thursday 30 April 2026.
