LFW enhances biodiversity on private land and provides landholders with the knowledge and skills to maintain native vegetation and habitat on their properties. LFW is an entry level program and Regional Providers act as a conduit for landholders with support from CEN through exchange of information which encourages active participation of landholders.

The program is free for landholders to join and is not legally binding. Registration in the scheme will not change the legal status of a property.
