Land for Wildlife is a voluntary, non-binding program which encourages and supports landholders to provide habitat for native plants and animals on their property. It is a free, voluntary program, and landholders can leave at any time.

The program offers landholders a variety of benefits which include:

• free advice and assistance on managing wildlife habitat with other land uses
• recognition and support for your contribution to nature conservation in Queensland
• opportunities to share ideas and experiences through the Land for Wildlife network and publications.

The program is designed for any landholder who has natural areas of vegetation like rangelands, vegetation along watercourses, or shelter belts.

All types of small and large properties are eligible for Land for Wildlife status, such as farms, bush blocks, parks, school grounds – even golf courses and cemeteries. Land can be government owned or owned by individuals, organisations, and community groups.

Landholders can also get together with a group of neighbours and join Land for Wildlife to conserve habitat for a particular species of native animal, or to manage natural vegetation across properties or catchments.
