Hidden Treasures Project
This project aims to protect the habitat of threatened flora and fauna and areas of priority remnant native vegetation in the Northern Agricultural Region (NAR).

Subject to the project’s site criteria, incentives will be provided to landholders to undertake fencing to protect and restore high value remnant vegetation, prioritising areas containing threatened flora, fauna and/or ecological communities.
