You are at the Natural Resources Management (NRM) site of ConservationSA. This site has been established to provide a wide range of information about Natural Resource Management including opportunities for community involvement in planning and delivery across the State.

Natural Resources Management (NRM) is the management of our natural resources which includes soil, water, landscapes, native vegetation, animals and ecosystems by anyone in the community. CCSA has a Natural Resource Management facilitator position funded through the state government, with the aim to better link community groups with NRM across the state.

Outcomes and lessons from evaluating investment in South Australia’s natural resources

From 2001 to 2008, considerable investment was made in South Australia's natural resources by the State and Australian Governments through the National Action Plan for Salinity and Water Quality (NAP) and the Natural Heritage Trust Phase 2 (NHT2) programs.

These programs provided approximately $283 million to undertake and administer 589 natural resources management projects in South Australia.

To detail some of the outcomes and lessons from these programs, the Department of Water, Land and Biodiversity Conservation has developed the evaluation report 'Our Changing Environment: Outcomes and Lessons from Investment in South Australia's Natural Resources' in consultation with participants of the NAP and NHT2 programs.
