Local government and community groups are being encouraged to apply for the latest round of EnvironmeNT grants by the Northern Territory Government.

Environment Minister Alison Anderson said $720,000 in funding is available across three areas: individual projects, operational projects and school projects.

The minister is seeking proposals from individuals, community groups, wildlife or conservation organisations, schools, local government and industry groups.

“The schools category will support environmental activities and projects, which will help bring the important message of sustainability into the classroom.

Applications for the school project category close on Friday, 1 May. The individual and operational categories will remain open until Friday, 22 May.
