Environment Southland help look after Biodiversity
Environment Southland have set up a Southland Environmental Enhancement Fund which individual landowners or community groups can apply to for assistance in their work to protect biodiversity. Primarily aimed at biodiversity on private land, there is a fund of $30,000 available in this first year. An invitation has been sent out to landowners who have had an HVA (High Value Area) survey done to help progress reccommendations made in those reports towards the enhancement of these areas. However the fund is open to anyone interested in protecting biodiversity in the region.
