State Natural Resource Management Program

Community Stewardship Grants are available for community-based projects that help conserve, restore, rehabilitate or enhance a local natural area, conserve WA’s biodiversity and maintain or build the capability of NRM community groups across the State.

The 2022 Community Stewardship Grant round closed on 2 May 2022. Each grant application was assessed by a panel which provided recommendations to the relevant Ministers for approval.

The Minister for Agriculture and Food, as lead Minister for NRM, has now announced the successful applications for 2022. A complete list can be downloaded at the link below:
