The Biodiversity Conservation Trust (BCT) operates a revolving fund as an innovative mechanism to protect and conserve high-value biodiversity on private land across New South Wales. This fund works by purchasing properties with significant conservation values, placing them under permanent protection through in-perpetuity conservation agreements, and then reselling them to conservation-minded buyers. Guest Speaker Dieuwer Reynders will discuss the due diligence undertaken by BCT when a culturally significant site is identified on a BCT property.

The Cultural tour will take approximately one hour, participants will be walking for the duration of the tour.
