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:
Board Director and Chair of the Audit & Risk Committee, Douglas Ransom, provided an update on the financial reports for the year ending 30 June 2025, highlighting the organisation's strong financial position.
Jan Ferguson OAM also welcomed Bec Hardy back to the Nature Foundation Board as a Director for a three-year term. She thanked retiring Director Claire Fuller for her service and contribution to conservation.
Following a break for further drinks and canapés, we enjoyed a dynamic presentation from Kristoffer Wild, the 2025 recipient of the Mike Bull Award for Early Career Nature Scientists, who shared his research into arid-zone reptiles, building on historical field data and modelling their impacts in a warming climate.
Many thanks to EasyFlowers for the kind donation of six gorgeous bouquets of native flowers; the lucky 
door prize recipients were delighted with their unexpected gift.
Thank you to all the members who joined us for this special occasion.
All in all, it was a vibrant evening celebrating the efforts and achievements of the previous financial year, and looking positively to the future.
