The Land for Wildlife (LfW) program was initiated in
Victoria in 1981 and has expanded across Australia, coming
to Queensland in 2000. There are over 200 members, and over 15,000ha in the
program.
The Lockyer Valley Regional Council supports the LfW program
in the Lockyer Valley. The LfW program aims to supports landholders with
managing their properties for multiple benefits, local
flora and fauna and their conservation, regional ecosystems, including advice
on erosion, pests, and weeds.
The Lockyer Valley Regional Council supports the LfW program
through employing a Land for Wildlife Officer. This LfW Officer supports LfW
landholders and facilitates the extension of additional council LfW support
programs such as the LfW Free Native Plant Program, field days and workshops.
