The Native Vegetation Heritage Agreement (NVHA) Grants Program is excited to be offering a training program to landowners with the opportunity to learn about conserving natural vegetation on your property.

Trees For Life will deliver the training and networking session in partnership with the Landscape Boards (SA) and the Native Vegetation Branch with information sessions to support landowners in continuing to protect our state’s biodiversity.

Hear and learn from land management experts about on-ground techniques and strategies for improving habitats on your property and supporting resilience to climate change, whilst meet other Heritage Agreement owners and people involved in conservation on private lands.

Regional face to face workshops

Murraylands and Riverland and Kangaroo Island were the first regions to experience face to face, onsite training and networking sessions that took place in April 2024.

Sessions are also planned in the Northern and Yorke, Limestone Coast, Eyre Peninsula and Hills and Fleurieu regions in late 2024 and 2025 and more details will follow once dates and locations are announced.

Online workshop

The first of 10 online workshops was held in May 2024 with Property Planning the topic. Other sessions will provide detailed information on specific topics like weed control, pest animal management, plant identification, bird identification, fire management and property planning.

13 June 2024 - Feral cat and fox management
