Murbpook Nature Reserve is a 360-hectare wetland reserve on the western side of the River Murray between Blanchetown and Morgan, in South Australia's Riverland region. Murbpook and its immediate vicinity support habitat for 17 state and nationally rated fauna species, including the Regent Parrot (Polytelis anthopeplus monarchoides), and five state rare flora species, including Purple Love-grass (Eragrostis lacunaria).

Recent reserve management activities have made an important contribution to Murbpook's continued ecological health.

The key action of the 2025-2030 Science Strategy, the Nature Foundation Biodiversity Monitoring Program (NFBMP), plays a vital role in our collective efforts to conserve biodiversity. It includes standardised survey sites and techniques for vegetation, birds, reptiles, and mammals across all reserves, monitored each autumn and spring, with targeted surveys to gather crucial data on key threatened species.
This consistent approach to monitoring ensures that we use resources effectively to maximise positive outcomes for biodiversity.

We are delighted to introduce the three artists selected for Nature Foundation's Artist Residency Program for 2026.

Founded in 2019, Nature Foundation's Artist Residency Program offers artists the chance to immerse themselves in the inspiring landscapes of Witchelina and Hiltaba Nature Reserves, responding to these remote South Australian landscapes through distinct but complementary creative practices.

The carbon market is one of the newest financial markets in the world. It was initially born in the early 1990s to reduce sulphur emissions through a cap-and-trade scheme. Over the years, it evolved in various countries until the Paris Agreement of 2015, when it was recognised that an international system to price and mitigate emissions was essential for reducing global warming. 

In April, our Kids on Country Aboriginal Advisory Group members joined Nature Foundation for the group's first meeting of the year.
