The money raised each year from the game bird habitat stamps programme is transferred from Fish and Game Councils and NZ Post to the Game Bird Habitat Trust.
The Trust Board uses this money to help create and enhance habitat for the benefit of game birds and other wildlife.
Applications for grants close on June 30 each year and are open to anyone with support from the landowner and a recognised habitat referee.
For more information about the Trust or how to apply for a grant, please refer to the forms below or contact your local Fish & Game office.
Applications are to be returned as an electronic file by 30 June to the NZ Game Bird Habitat Trust via email: [email protected]
