How NGT Works

Nature Glenelg Trust is a little different to most organisations in the environment sector. We are a community environmental NGO, a team of applied-science professionals and an environmental charity – all in one.

COMMUNITY ENVIRONMENTAL NGO

As a registered not-for-profit community environmental organisation, Nature Glenelg Trust seeks government and non-government grants to deliver practical, pragmatic, science-based action to benefit nature.

We seek investment for biodiversity projects to direct action to where it is needed, by identifying and filling gaps, and working closely with landholders and local communities to deliver results on the ground for our environment.

PROFESSIONAL ECOLOGICAL SERVICES

Nature Glenelg Trust provides a wide range of professional ecological services, to assist our partners and clients with research, monitoring or conservation management projects. These services also provide an important financial contribution to support the costs of running our not-for-profit organisation and in supporting our wider purpose.

In keeping with our organisational charter, we are selective about the projects and clients we choose to work with, with a focus on projects where outcomes are unquestionably positive for the environment.

We have expertise in all aspects of applied ecology, including but not limited to:

  • flora, fauna and native vegetation surveys;
  • threatened species survey, management and recovery planning;
  • strategic environmental weed management planning and prioritisation;
  • site assessments and action planning for a range of threats to native habitat;
  • wetland classification, monitoring and management;
  • wetland ecohydrology, history and restoration planning;
  • supervision of on-ground wetland restoration works;
  • designing and delivering environmental education programs;
  • management of more complex integrated environmental programs;
  • working with landholders to achieve pragmatic, practical results for the environment.
