Nature Foundation has partnered with Australian company Safewill to provide a comprehensive yet straightforward, cost-effective, and secure way to write and manage your Will online. And during Free Wills Fortnight, you can write a Will for free.

Watchalunga Nature Reserve was acquired by Nature Foundation in 2014, following a long period of use for cattle grazing.

​Over the past 11 years, significant progress has been made in restoring the landscape. Its precious habitat supports local native species, including the Mount Lofty Ranges Southern Emu-wren (Stipiturus malachurus intermedius), which is listed as Endangered under the national Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act and National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) Act.

The Aboriginal Advisory Group was established in early 2024 to provide valuable support, strategic advice and guidance for the delivery and future growth of the Kids on Country™ Junior Ranger Program. Members represent various Aboriginal Traditional Custodian groups from across South Australia, offering diverse perspectives to ensure the program continues to support a range of stakeholders.

High-quality natural science underpins all our efforts to sustainably manage our unique biodiversity for future generations, and an essential aspect of this is offering research grants to university students, funded by donations from our generous supporters.

Brock Hedges was the recipient of the Roy and Marjory Edwards Scholarship in the 2019 research grants round. The scholarship supported his PhD research, with the majority of fieldwork undertaken at Hiltaba Nature Reserve, where he explored the freshwater granite rock-holes in the area. 

The initial Science Strategy, introduced in 2018, outlined the governing principles and research priorities for the Science and Knowledge Program over the next five years. It also described the investment mechanisms and decision-making processes to enable South Australian ecological science to grow and develop, benefiting Nature Foundation, its nature reserves, and the broader community.
