How Bequests support the restoration and protection of our natural environment
The Raymond Borland Bequest was made to Landcare Australia in 2009 by New South Wales businessman, Mr Raymond Borland, who was disturbed by the degradation of the Australian landscape and wanted to support landcare work across New South Wales. Mr Borland left a bequest to Landcare Australia requesting that the funding be used for the rehabilitation of degraded natural environments in rural lands and non-tidal parts of river systems in New South Wales.
Over the last 15 years Landcare Australia has used Mr Borland’s bequest to support many environmental projects in NSW. The earliest restoration projects include Durness Station in the Hunter Valley of NSW; and the Bundanon Landcare Living Landscape, an environmental and educational initiative to increase biodiversity, capture carbon and reconnect native habitat on the culturally significant landscape on the Shoalhaven River managed by the Bundanon Trust.
More recently, Mr Borland’s bequest has funded a research partnership that supports sustainable river management in New South Wales. The ARC River Recovery Project is a research alliance between Landcare Australia, Hunter Local Land Services and Macquarie University. The project outcomes will be used to mitigate, respond and recover from natural disasters. This collaborative project is providing vital data and knowledge for ongoing sustainable river management, rehabilitation and continued health of our rivers in NSW.
