Applications are now open for Round 3 of the Green Army Programme.
The Federal Government’s Green Army Programme supports local environment and heritage conservation projects across the country.
Projects must have a clear environment or heritage conservation focus and offer participants valuable practical experience, while supporting a safe work environment.
A full list of eligible activities is provided in the Green Army Round 3 Project Guidelines. Projects must be delivered within 20-26 weeks and may involve activities such as restoring and protecting habitat, weeding, planting or cleaning up creeks and rivers.
