Vital Work Appeal 2024

Thank you to all of the nature lovers who have kindly supported Nature Foundation. Your gifts make a real impact on our biodiversity in South Australia and beyond. It is a critical time for nature, and as a non-government funded charity, we value your care and support to protect our environment for the future.

Your generous donations fund important conservation activities and programs that conserve and restore our current footprint, help us protect more land, stop species loss, and take further action to mitigate the increasing effects of climate change.

Private land conservation plays a vital role in ensuring the survival of Australian landscapes, flora, and fauna for future generations. In addition to conserving the land, we must continue to manage it appropriately to restore these precious habitats and protect their unique inhabitants.

Our annual Vital Work Appeal is invaluable in helping us achieve the required property maintenance and infrastructure improvements across our nature reserves, allowing us to conduct and improve our conservation efforts.

This year, we are aiming to raise $100,000, which will help:

• Fix the collapsed causeway at Watchalunga Nature Reserve, which will assist with improved weed control and management of the habitat for the Mount Lofty Ranges Southern Emu-wren
• Upgrade the Shearers Quarters at Hiltaba Nature Reserve, including a new toilet and ablution block to improve the visitor experience
• Support water infrastructure upgrades at Hiltaba and Witchelina Nature Reserves, with new tanks and pipeline improvements to conserve this precious natural resource, support weed control and prevent insects and fauna congregating around these open water sources

These and other ongoing upgrades enable our daily activities to continue so that we can achieve the conservation outcomes on which our natural environment and community depend.

As a registered charity with deductible gift recipient (DGR) status, all donations are tax-deductible. At the beginning of the financial year, we will resend all donation receipts to everyone who has donated to the Nature Foundation to help you record your donations and accurately reduce your taxable income.

We understand the impact of the increased cost of living on Australians, and we sincerely thank you for all the donations made to Nature Foundation. Every donation of any size truly makes a difference to nature.
