Founded in 2019, Nature Foundation's Artist Residency Program offers artists with a professional profile the opportunity to spend up to two weeks at either Witchelina or Hiltaba Nature Reserves.

Nature’s Foundations 4 features the work of the three recipients of the Nature Foundation's artist in residency recipients, Kirrily Anderson, Catherine Bourn and Josephine Lennon. Each artist interprets and expresses how the environment of remote Australia has influenced and inspired them during each of their residencies.

Join us for a morning of nature and art where both little and big kids (aka grown-ups) will create their own nature-inspired artwork, expertly led by nature-loving artist, Julia Blanka, from The Beach Studio.

Blending well with this year’s Nature Festival theme of ‘Flow’, this hands-on, no-pressure art session will step you through the process of creating your own watercolour artwork based on a landscape scene from one of Nature Foundation’s wetland nature reserves.

Birds & Bingo is back for its third season at Nature Festival, with even more birds, and more bingo!

The premise is relatively straightforward: enjoy a fun and educational afternoon of bird-themed bingo, hosted by bingo-master and bird-enthusiast, Sputnik, interspersed with conversations with a couple of bird-nerd ecologists to learn more about our native bird species, and the research and conservation work involved in supporting them.

Since 2000, Nature Foundation has awarded $1,974,786 in research grants to postgraduate students, academics, and the community to kick-start research careers, supporting 464 students.

Jack Bilby and Rebecca Greening are multi-year recipients of Nature Foundation's student research grants program, with funding supporting their important research projects that further nature science understanding and outcomes.

Join host Dr Lucy Clive, Nature Foundation's Science and Knowledge Program Officer, to learn more about Jack and Rebecca's research projects and the findings providing important outcomes for nature science and conservation.

We are delighted to invite Nature Foundation members to attend the 2025 Impact Report Launch and AGM, in-person at the National Wine Centre of Australia, or online via Zoom.
 
Ahead of the AGM formalities, join us to enjoy an engaging presentation from the Nature Foundation team, sharing updates, highlights and results from activities undertaken over the past financial year, as documented in the 2025 Impact Report.

This is your opportunity to learn about the impact achieved by Nature Foundation (with your support!), ahead of the public release of the 2025 Impact Report. You will also be welcome to collect a printed copy of the 2025 Impact Report to keep, should you wish.

The AGM component of the evening will include updates on Nature Foundation's financial report and results of the election for Board Director positions.
