Summary
The Biodiversity Conservation Trust engaged the Natural Resources Commission to undertake an independent evaluation of the Private Land Conservation Matters program.
The Biodiversity Conservation Trust partnered with Landcare NSW and local Landcare groups to deliver this $1.4 million program. The program supported Landcare coordinators and groups to work with the Biodiversity Conservation Trust’s regional staff. Together, they delivered events to build landholder knowledge and awareness of private land conservation.
The evaluation assessed how well the program met its intended outcomes. It focused on:
- delivery outcomes
- stakeholder engagement
- the partnership model between the Trust and Landcare NSW.
The evaluation also informed future program design and delivery of private land conservation across NSW.
We delivered a final evaluation report to the Biodiversity Conservation Trust in June 2025.
