NaRLA’s Activities

In addition to offering a wide range of services to its members and others, NaRLA undertakes a variety of other activities related to or facilitating:

• the improvement of understanding of nature conservation and its importance and values to the community in general, and 
• the adoption by landholders, governments, businesses and the general public of policies and practices that will enhance nature conservation and natural biodiversity on private land.

Our activities include:

• representation of our members’ interests to governments and other organisations and individuals on matters relating to the protection and effective management of private land set aside for nature conservation.
• working with Local, State and Commonwealth governments and government agencies to develop and implement policies and practices that will:
  • encourage and empower landholders to protect the native flora and fauna and other natural features of their land, and
  • prevent threats to the effective protection of native flora and fauna on private land caused by human or other impacts originating outside the protected area. 
• seeking grants, donations, sponsorships, bequests and other forms of financial and practical support for our nature conservation activities.   
• development of partnerships with landholders, government agencies, businesses, research and teaching institutions, non-government organisations, and Indigenous Australian communities to further effective nature conservation on privately owned or controlled lands.
• provision of a forum where its members and others interested in nature conservation on private lands can exchange ideas and information, and learn from and support each other.
• conduct and support of research into methods of managing land and populations of native flora and fauna to enhance nature conservation.
• fostering the participation of youth from Australia and overseas in experiential learning activities focused on nature conservation on private lands.
• conduct of public education activities to improve community understanding of and support for nature conservation on private lands.
