ACT NRM delivers projects that focus on the conservation of natural ecosystems at a landscape level. The projects also focus at the individual species level and the threatened ecological community level, within the ecosystems as required.
Objectives of our work include improving knowledge, engaging community and appreciation of landscape resilience and adaptation.
Protecting box gum-grassy woodland landscapes.
Supporting important aquatic and riparian ecosystems in the ACT.
Improving the resilience of threatened grasslands.
Priority investments for threatened species, landscape resilience, adaptation and community engagement.
Supporting the movement of species to the broader landscape (ecological connectivity), enriching and building the resilience of urban biodiversity, and enhancing our community's connection to nature.
