Burnett Mary Regional Group For Natural Resource Management Ltd

About

The Burnett Mary Regional Group (BMRG) is the peak not-for-profit body for natural resource management (NRM) within the Burnett Mary region of Queensland, Australia, established in 2001. It plays a crucial role in connecting the community with government and other funding programs, delivering projects that protect and enhance the agricultural and natural environment for future generations.

Giving Philosophy

BMRG's vision is to protect and enhance the agricultural and natural environment of the Burnett Mary region, which they achieve by directing investment into a wide range of community-based programs. Their approach focuses on fostering collaboration and partnerships with governments, Landcare and Catchment Care groups, Indigenous organisations, agricultural and industrial sectors, universities, and schools. They aim to restore, protect, and build resilience in the natural environment, balancing use and preservation, and increasingly use environmental accounting frameworks to measure and quantify the impact of their interventions.
