Training Opportunities

During 2024/25 the Native Vegetation Heritage Agreement (NVHA) Grants Program offered a training program that offered face-to-face workshops and online training program to landowners with the opportunity to learn about conserving native vegetation on their property.

Trees For Life delivered the training and networking session in partnership with the Landscape Boards (SA) and the Native Vegetation Branch with information sessions to show support to landowners in continuing to protect our state’s biodiversity.

Landowners heard from land management experts about on-ground techniques and strategies for improving habitats on their property and supporting resilience to climate change, whilst meeting other Heritage Agreement owners and people involved in conservation on private lands.

Cultural Awareness Training

The first Cultural Awareness training was held in the Limestone Coast in April 2025, followed by Hills and Fleurieu in May 2025. Heritage Agreement landowners were invited to attend the training to help foster relationships and enhance engagement with First Nations people.

Heritage Agreement landowners had the opportunity to hear and learn about recognising our shared history, understanding First Nations cultures, understanding of caring for country or First Nations land management practices and protecting remnant vegetation on the Heritage Agreement site.

Future cultural awareness training opportunities are being planned and will be announced in the coming months.

The Native Vegetation Council recognises the significant contribution NVHA owners make to protect and enhance South Australia’s biodiversity and encourages you to get involved in the training program.
