Following the devastating 2019-2020 bushfires, landholders are in a unique position to contribute meaningfully to bushfire recovery and the long-term protection of biodiversity across NSW through private land conservation. 

EDO, in collaboration with WWF-Australia, hosted a webinar on private land conservation for landholders in bushfire-affected areas across the east coast.  

Hear from EDO, WWF-Australia, Biodiversity Conservation Trust, Humane Society International and Community Environment Network on the benefits of private land conservation, the options available and how to get involved.
