We invested $3.5 million to support new conservation and volunteer experiences to encourage more Victorians to get involved in our great outdoors.

Volunteering Innovation Fund

The Volunteering Innovation Fund supported community-led environmental volunteer projects that encouraged new ways of volunteering for the environment.

Funding was awarded to innovative and inspiring community projects like restoring koala habitats, using new scientific techniques to track threatened species and creating nature-based partnerships to promote mental health and wellbeing.

To find out more and learn about funded projects, visit the Parks Victoria website.
