The Carman’s Trees for Bees Community Tree Grants support the planting of bee-friendly trees in extended gardens, community-owned land, school grounds, sporting club precincts and urban corridors.
20 grants of $500 are available for not-for-profits, school groups, Landcare groups, community organisations and sustainability groups.
Applications require a brief summary of the bee-friendly planting proposal, planting area and planting dates.
Please read the Terms & Conditions and the Eligibility Checklist.
Applicants will be judged on three criteria:
- Pollinator Impact: How the planting will benefit bees and other pollinators.
- Area covered: The size of the planting and the details of the area (was it previously an unused site, does it extend existing pollinator-friendly garden).
- Community reach: How many people are involved in the planting, how many people will learn more about the importance of planting for pollinators as a result of the grant.
