Do you have native vegetation on your farm? Could you benefit from some additional income to manage this land? The newly-established Biodiversity Conservation Trust (BCT) has a new program that could be of interest. BCT are calling for expressions of interest (EOI) from people interested in earning annual payments to conserve biodiversity on their property.
To be eligible, you need to be in priority areas within Armidale Regional, Glen Innes Severn, Inverell and Uralla Local Government Areas. If you are interested – the first step is to submit an EOI for a site visit by our local staff. You need to submit an EOI by 13 April 2018. These can be lodged using the EOI form at www.bct.nsw.gov.au or by calling 1300 992 688. The funds will come from $16 million allocated to the BCT’s first round of conservation management programs.
Two information sessions will be held at the Country Comfort Motel 86 Barney St Armidale on Monday 9th April:
7.30 am - 9.30 am (includes breakfast) and11.30 am to 1.30 pm (includes lunch).

- What is the Biodiversity Conservation Trust?
- What are Conservation Tenders?
- Why is this being run in the Northern Inland region?
- How do I know if this is for me?
- What are the next steps if I want to take part?
