Wildlife Tree Stewardship

Hey Holly,

In australia we have a Land for Wildlife program that educates and assists local landholders in protecting and enhancing their native vegetation.
see: http://www.seqcatchments.com.au/LFW.html or http://www.logan.qld.gov.au/lcc/logan/environment/biodiversity/cip/landforwildlife.htm

A few of the local council also run programs for smaller properties.

Other initiatives are running free community workshops.

cheers
