For over 50 years, Trust for Nature has worked alongside Victorians to create a future where our native plants and animals can be valued, protected and thriving.

As one of Australia’s oldest conservation organisations, we have unique powers enshrined in legislation to protect Victoria’s natural wonder forever, help meet biodiversity targets locally and globally, and to mitigate the effects of climate change.

In Victoria, Australia’s most developed state, 62% of land is privately owned and 78% of the native vegetation on private land is rare or threatened.

Vast areas of natural habitats for native plants and animals, many unique to Victoria, are under threat from land clearing, overharvesting, changing climate and population growth. 

Without the land that provides their homes, species become extinct. 

Trust for Nature is committed to practical action, collaboration and innovation to permanently protect, conserve and regenerate private land in Victoria before we lose our most threatened native plants and wildlife forever.
