Priorities 2011-15 FlyerThe Natural Resources Conservation League of Victoria (NRCL), formed in 1951 is celebrating over 60 years of contribution to the conservation of Victoria’s natural resources. Its predecessor, the Save the Forests Campaign was formed in 1944 in the aftermath of the 1939 bushfires out of concern about the need to protect Victoria’s forests. Read more about our history.

In 2011,the NRCL Board developed new priorities to guide our work to 2015 and beyond. Our vision is to be an innovative and strategic leader in the promotion of conservation ideas and actions that value, conserve and restore ecosystems in a changing environment characterised by climate change, drought and fire risk.

The NRCL is working to enact this vision through practical projects that involve community action, research, education and demonstration projects in order to achieve enduring, positive change for the natural environment.

Draft National Wildlife Corridors Plan

The Natural Resources Conservation League of Victoria recently made a submission to the Australian Government on the Draft National Wildlife Corridors Plan. The NRCL endorses the Plan’s strategy to ‘restore and manage ecological connections in the Australian landscape’ but believes that the implementation of the Plan will need to ensure local Landcare groups and networks continue to receive the support of Government in the development of corridors or biolinks.
