Land for Wildlife (LFW) program
Are you interested in contributing to the conservation of our unique Australian native plants and animals on your land? Then the Land for Wildlife program may be for you!
Land for Wildlife is a voluntary property registration scheme for landholders who wish to manage areas of wildlife habitat on their property.
The LFW program encourages and assists landholders to include nature conservation in their land management objectives. The program is free for landholders to join and is not legally binding. Registration in the scheme will not change the legal status of a property.
As a member of the scheme, you’ll receive:
- Information about wildlife management
- Information about the role of wildlife and native vegetation in sustainable agriculture to control pest species, provide shade and shelter, manage salinity and control wind and water erosion
- Membership links and contacts with like-minded people
- Notes and news on particular management issues
- Signs for property owners who have properties registered with the scheme
- Access to education programs and activities.
Our LFW team will assist landholders with:
- Site assessments
- Advice on suggested management strategies and actions for the property
- Support and encouragement for landholders to carry out nature conservation on their land.

Land for Wildlife – Expression of Interest
The Land for Wildlife (LFW) program is a free, voluntary property registration scheme that is non-binding and is designed for landowners who wish to manage their property for biodiversity and wildlife habitat conservation and enhancement.
Mid Coast 2 Tops Landcare is the Regional Provider of the LFW program. We work closely with our our partner – Mid Coast Council, and the State Coordinators at the Community Environment Network in Gosford to support local landholders in conservation activities on their land.
We provide members of LFW with personalised technical support and advice on how best to manage the natural resources on their property; including vegetation description & condition, restoration prioritization, management of threats, habitat enhancement, and support with grant funding applications. LFW members are issued with a sign, receive our monthly newsletter, have access to local Landcare Networks & Events, and free native tube stock (where required for habitat restoration).
All personal information is confidential to the Landholder, Mid Coast 2 Tops Landcare, Mid Coast Council and the Community Environment Network.
