The Organisation

Trust for Nature is a leading not-for-profit, conservation organisation protecting native plants and wildlife on privately owned land in Victoria. Currently 62% of land in Victoria is privately owned, meaning a significant loss each year of natural vegetation from clearing and climate change. Over 100 000 hectares have been protected so far.

The Trust is Victoria’s oldest land trust and was established in 1972 to provide a way for people to contribute to permanent nature conservation. It partners with landowners, the government and businesses to ensure the long- term protection of biodiversity.
