In a new partnership with Landcare NSW, the BCT is providing $1.34 million over 2 years to fund a series of local projects and activities which will support conservation on private land.
To our landholders, stakeholders and followers,
We wanted to provide you with a further update to our operations in light of the evolving global pandemic.
From Monday 4 May we will re-commence field work for some projects including the Southern Highlands Koala Habitat Tender, Fixed Price Offer, applications for Biodiversity Stewardship Agreements and ecological monitoring for a limited number of sites.
Are you unsure what exactly the BCT does and why we do it? Watch this video to find out!
This video was filmed and produced by Numeral Creative using footage collected at BCT site visits, educational events and functions over 2019.
It has been a difficult time for landholders, staff and wider communities impacted by fire across the state. Our thoughts are with all of those affected, including those that have put so much time and care into managing and protecting conservation areas on their land.
It is important during these times to share the stories that help us to remember how resilient the Australian landscape can be.
Shirley Handy, a conservation agreement-holder from Inverell, was the feature of an article in The Land digital and print on Thursday 17 October. The article celebrates Shirley’s and many other farmers’ conservation efforts, as well as BCT’s latest outcomes.
“There is nothing to be afraid of, you don’t have to be a greenie. The radical greenie kills it for the common sense conservationist.” – Shirley Handy
