Exciting news to start 2025: Help us create the Wirey Swamp Restoration Reserve!

It is fantastic to be able to kick-off our first full newsletter of 2025, with some very exciting news!

Nature Glenelg Trust is embarking on creating the Wirey Swamp Restoration Reserve, and we’re asking you to join us!

We are very grateful for early contributions by some of NGT’s existing supporters, who – working with us behind the scenes – have helped us reduce our public fundraising target for the land purchase to $600,000. This is now the remaining balance that NGT is seeking to raise, in order to successfully settle the purchase of Wirey Swamp at the end of the financial year, in June 2025.

However in a massive additional boost, thanks to a new partnership we have entered into with Australian Bluegum Plantations (ABP) and OneFortyOne (OFO), these two plantation forestry companies have generously made the commitment to match any further donations NGT receives before settlement, up to a maximum total amount of $300,000 ($150,000 each) – or exactly half of our remaining target.

This now means that every dollar donated between now and the end of June will be matched by the plantation forestry industry, doubling your impact towards our target!

All donations over $2 are fully tax-deductible.

By the way… we’ll provide an update each month on how we are tracking, via the progress bar shown below.

Needless to say, this month we are at the beginning!

The creation of the Wirey Swamp Restoration Reserve is an initiative of Nature Glenelg Trust,
with the generous assistance of NGT’s strategic supporters, and our plantation forest industry partners:
