The Native Vegetation Research and Development Program commenced in 1994. It is now in its third phase of research now known as the Native Vegetation and Biodiversity R&D Program. The Program has established that a strong link exists between maintaining productive landscapes and managing healthy native vegetation systems. The Program continues to generate knowledge on managing vegetation as a result of partnerships and collaborations with Land & Water Australia.
