We support more than 30 community groups involved in environmental and natural resource management projects.

These groups include Landcare and friends of groups, Bendigo Sustainability Group, Bendigo Field Naturalists' Club and the Bendigo Native Plant Group.

All play a key role in protecting and improving our natural environment, provide an important community education role and assist all levels of government with aspects of environmental management.
