Fund the future of Pooginook West

Restorative revegetation key to biodiversity, resilient ecosystems

The revegetation of Pooginook West Nature Reserve will support a huge variety of native species, not only those that are endangered or under threat, but all of the different species that form part of a healthy ecosystem. Invertebrates, reptiles, birds, mammals, fungi and bacteria – they all need plant life to thrive. 

Around 400-hectares or 17% of Pooginook West’s total area has been significantly disturbed. This has dramatically reduced its ability to naturally revegetate and increased the amount of time it would take for the land to recover.

We’re fast-tracking Pooginook West’s restoration and we need your help 

We’ve developed a restorative revegetation program to kickstart the reserve’s recovery. The program includes both direct seeding and tubestock planting to balance cost effectiveness and efficiency with overall revegetation time.

We’re now seeking your financial support to help us start planting. 

Plant a seed (or tree) for change

Your donation to the Forever Nature Fund: Pooginook West Restoration Appeal will directly support our restoration program. Every dollar will help to create a safer home for endangered species and ecological communities. 

Ways to donate:

• Get in on the ground storey – kickstart Pooginook West’s revegetation today with a one-off donation
• Grow an ecological community – join us on the full restoration journey with regular monthly contributions

All donations are tax-deductible.

The Forever Nature Fund

Our Forever Nature Fund was established to raise capital to purchase and manage critical habitat areas and prioritise using data-driven scientific and environmental assessment tools.

The compounding impacts of climate change are accelerating the decline of Australia’s biodiversity, with increasing numbers of species and ecological communities listed as threatened. This urgent situation makes our mission to protect and restore critical habitats more crucial than ever.

Nature Foundation aims to double our impact to 1 million hectares protected by 2030. We have made positive strides towards this goal in 2025 with the acquisition of Pooginook West.

Your donation today will ensure this work continues for years to come.

We value your support of our mission to conserve the precious habitat of South Australia and beyond.
