Bushfire restoration tree planting grants now open - 21/5/21

Hawkesbury City Council has welcomed new tree planting grants that are now available from the Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife (FNPW) to restore bushfire affected regions, including the Hawkesbury.

If you are working to restore large areas of habitat by tree planting in areas that were impacted by the 2019-2020 bushfires, then you can apply for a Bushfire Restoration Grant from the Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife (FNPW) to receive trees to plant. Please note that you must apply for the grant first before going to the Nursery for the trees and large orders are preferred.

The bushfire restoration grants are open for online applications at https://fnpw.org.au/grants until 30 June 2021. Individuals, community groups, organisations or government departments working in these areas are all eligible to apply for support for projects commencing in 2021.

In 2020, FNPW supported the upgrade of the Hawkesbury Community Nursery to become a bushfire recovery nursery to assist in restoration activities.
