Under the Country for our Country funding scheme, base-level funding across 22 regional natural resource management organisations will be allocated for the 2011–12 and 2012–13 financial years.

Federal Minister for Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing, Senator Joe Ludwig said this funding was part of the $711 million in allocated base-level funding to be provided over five years for the Caring for our Country initiative.

Funding will go to activities such as weed removal, restoring nature refuges, pest management, and supporting the development of community skills, knowledge and engagement.
