OUR Programs
Restoring Nature and Communities
In March 2021 our second partnership program began in North East Tasmania.
Restoring Nature and Communities is a 20 week eco-restoration program in partnership with North East Bioregional Network in St. Helens. The program employs four workers who are undertaking a range of land management and restoration work in the Break O Day municipality.
Our first partnership program Seeds of Connection is thriving in 2021 with community connection programs in Injune, Mitchell, Wallumbilla and Surat during 2021.

OUR Annual Small GRANTS
Building stronger communities

Each year Highways and Byways – Healing the Land, Healing Ourselves, Together runs a program offering grants of up to $3,000 to address disadvantage and inequality within small towns and communities, especially in rural, regional and remote areas of Australia. We always receive many more applications than we can fund.
In 2022, our small grants program will support projects that advance the theme of ‘Healing the Land – Healing Ourselves – Together’.
This will focus on addressing social, economic and environmental distress through locally led, practical land health and environmental restoration projects, with an emphasis holistic practices, leadership and personal development and the intergenerational sharing of knowledge and skills.
