Less than a week remains for those yet to make an application to Gisborne District Council’s 2025 round of the Natural Heritage Fund.
The application period ends on Tuesday, August 20.
The fund supports projects on private properties and whenua Māori that enhance the wellbeing of te taiao (the natural environment).
Its primary goal is to assist private landowners in safeguarding or improving indigenous biodiversity on their land.
Biodiversity protection and enhancement were central activities for regional and unitary councils, a district council release said.
