We are delighted to share another year of outputs, outcomes and impact with you in the 2025 Impact Report.

The 2025 financial year saw further significant progress towards the five goals as outlined in our Strategic Plan: Towards 2030.

The nature of the work we do means there are many outputs and outcomes; however, we are focused on translating these into meaningful impacts that make a real difference to the landscapes, species and communities we aim to transform.

Last night, Nature Foundation members, Board Directors and staff gathered at the Wine Centre and online to celebrate the launch of the 2025 Impact Report and participate in the Annual General Meeting.

Following some arrival drinks and canapés, the evening commenced with an engaging presentation from the staff team, who shared highlights from the 2025 Impact Report, aligned with the five goals outlined in Nature Foundation's Strategic Plan: Towards 2030.

The Annual General Meeting featured a summary of highlights from the Chair, Jan Ferguson OAM, including:

Since 2000, Nature Foundation has awarded $1,974,786 in research grants to postgraduate students, academics, and the community to kick-start research careers, supporting 464 students.

Jack Bilby and Rebecca Greening are multi-year recipients of Nature Foundation's student research grants program, with funding supporting their important research projects that further nature science understanding and outcomes.

In this webinar, Jack and Rebecca join host Dr Lucy Clive, Nature Foundation's Science and Knowledge Program Officer, to share an overview of their research projects and the findings providing important outcomes for nature science and conservation.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the opening of the Nature's Foundations 4 exhibition at The Gallery – St Peters. It was a wonderful evening celebrating the resulting artwork from our 2024 Artist Residency Program recipients: Kirrily Anderson, Catherine Bourn and Josephine Lennon.

It was standing room only as guests gathered to appreciate the impressive works created following each of the artists residencies on one of our remote nature reserves. While each artist has their distinct style, there is a clear connection and relationship between the artworks, representing the vast and arid landscapes that inspired them.

Our Science & Knowledge and Reserve Management teams have had a busy start to spring, getting out across the nature reserves to set up new standardised survey monitoring sites.

A key aspect of the new 2025-2030 Science Strategy is the establishment of the Nature Foundation Biodiversity Monitoring Program, which consists of standardised surveys of vegetation, birds, reptiles, and mammals implemented across all Nature Foundation reserves each autumn and spring, combined with targeted, appropriately timed, species-specific surveys to capture important information on key threatened species.
