The Committee prefers requests for projects that show appropriate project and/or conservation planning has happened to support the type of project to be undertaken.
You also need to show your project will meet best practice professional standards for the protecting, preserving, restoring, conserving or displaying our natural world, and the native plants and animals that live in it.

- Requests for grants for plans, studies and reports do not need to show you have partnership funding, but must include a written quote for the work to be done.
