National Pledges QEII Funding Boost to Support Farm Conservation
Money invested to protect native bush, wetlands and other special habitats on farms is paying huge dividends.
The Government has pledged an extra $79 million for the National Wilding Conifer Control Programme over the next three years, taking its total spend over that time to $109 million, which is a great boost, but probably still not enough.
The Feds reckon $50m a year over the next decade is needed to halt the march of the dreaded pines.
