Following another successful Artist Residency Program and exhibition, applications are open for the 2026 Artist Residency Program.

We are delighted to share another year of outputs, outcomes and impact with you in the 2025 Impact Report.

The 2025 financial year saw further significant progress towards the five goals as outlined in our Strategic Plan: Towards 2030.

The nature of the work we do means there are many outputs and outcomes; however, we are focused on translating these into meaningful impacts that make a real difference to the landscapes, species and communities we aim to transform.

Last night, Nature Foundation members, Board Directors and staff gathered at the Wine Centre and online to celebrate the launch of the 2025 Impact Report and participate in the Annual General Meeting.

Following some arrival drinks and canapés, the evening commenced with an engaging presentation from the staff team, who shared highlights from the 2025 Impact Report, aligned with the five goals outlined in Nature Foundation's Strategic Plan: Towards 2030.

The Annual General Meeting featured a summary of highlights from the Chair, Jan Ferguson OAM, including:

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.

In this webinar, Jack and Rebecca join host Dr Lucy Clive, Nature Foundation's Science and Knowledge Program Officer, to share an overview of their research projects and the findings providing important outcomes for nature science and conservation.

After three years of dedicated research, we are proud to announce the publication of a paper in Wildlife Research that highlights habitat suitability modelling of the North Flinders Ranges Thick-billed Grasswren (Amytornis modestus raglessi), underscoring its significance for conservation efforts.

​In collaboration with Nature Foundation CEO Alex Nankivell and volunteers David Gobbett and Andrew Black, the research revealed a notable shift in the distribution of suitable habitat for the Thick-billed Grasswren, with Witchelina Nature Reserve's habitat improving markedly since its acquisition, demonstrating tangible conservation progress.
