​Gallagher Landcare Fencing Grants 2019 - Guidelines
 
Background
Gallagher have partnered with Landcare Australia to deliver the Gallagher Landcare Fencing Grants 2019. This partnership demonstrates our shared commitment to supporting local communities to care for the environment and improve sustainable agriculture outcomes.
The grants provide funding to undertake fencing projects, using Gallagher’s products, which MUST have:
  • Tangible environmental or sustainable agriculture outcomes;
  • Fencing products and a project plan developed together with their local Gallagher Territory Manager; and
  • Provide knowledge-sharing opportunities through field day(s), site visit(s) or demonstration(s).
 
Projects should also align with one or both follow two priority areas:
1. Grazing management
Electric fencing has revolutionised pasture management techniques meaning better profitability for farmers. Permanent or portable systems are used to subdivide pastures for more effective grazing, keeping the grass fresh, short, high energy and palatable which ultimately leads to increased milk and meat production; and/or
 
2. Conservation fencing
Installing conservation fencing can help exclude threats to valuable native plants and animals, such as: Browsing or trampling by herbivores (such as stock, rabbits or kangaroos); Preventing damage from people; or even to keep out introduced pests.
 
Project Funding Available
A total pool of $100,000 (ex-GST) of funding is available for the Gallagher Landcare Fencing Grants 2019. Eligible applicants are invited to apply for an individual fencing project grant for up to $8,000 (ex-GST) (including fencing materials - with costs to be determined in consultation with your local Gallagher Territory Manager), in one or both priority areas identified:
  • Grazing management; and/or
  • Conservation fencing.
