Join a Revegetation Group
Community groups are growing seedlings and revegetating our lost native bushes and grasslands. Find a
group, join in!
The Australian landscape has suffered massively from the arrival of European farming and our clear-fell domination of the native environment. This decline continues, even though we now know it leads to salinity, soil acidification and erosion. It's time to heal what previous generations have harmed. A membership and involvement in not-for-profit community revegetation group will fund and support the planting of hundreds of native seedlings per year.

Why is this action important?
Natural Resource Management (NRM) is the critical battleground for Australia over the next 50+ years. We face a declining natural environment as a result of approximately 200 years) of (well-intentioned) mismanagement of our landscape. As a result we have dying river systems, salinity, soil acidification, invasive species and soil loss. In addition, and making this harder, are the more sever weather patterns (climate change) such as higher temperatures, and scarce yet heavy rainfall, emerging as a result of global warming. As a result we are trying to overcome human inertia and politics to revive a dying continent in a changing climate. So it's time to join up and help out those front line groups implementing appropriate NRM practices across the country.
