Shorebird ID skills sharpened, the hunt for elusive orchids and healing Country

The national NRM update for February 2026 represents just a handful of NRM projects among hundreds happening across Australia, which are made possible through funding from the Australian Government, state governments and others.

Through these projects regional NRM organisations are providing an essential service to all Australians – they support the health and productivity of our natural resources to produce our food, fibre, water, soil and air – critical for life.
