Nature means the world to us. It's in our name. It's intrinsic to everything we do. So we are proud to be part of this year's Nature Festival, both as a Festival Partner and involved with a number of events.

Nature Festival is a two week celebration of our love of nature in South Australia, and from 26 September to 12 October 2025, and offers hundreds of events for all ages, full of creative ways to connect with nature and each other.

Following a reschedule due to the originally planned planting day for National Tree Day on Sunday 28 July being too wet to go ahead, our annual Watchalunga Planting Day was held yesterday.

Our dedicated team of Nature Foundation staff, members, supporters, and volunteers came together to plant 1,750 native seedlings, a significant contribution to the critical habitat of the endangered Mount Lofty Ranges Southern Emu-wren.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to the success of our recent Conservation Conversations. Your presence and participation were invaluable. If you were unable to attend or watch live online, you can catch up on the evening's conversations via the recording below.

The Pale Sun-moth (Synemon selene), a species last recorded in South Australia in 1948 and considered locally extinct, was rediscovered in 2018 by SA Museum staff near Peterborough, in the state's mid-north. This significant rediscovery occurred in an uncropped native grassland, home to a resident population of endangered Pygmy Bluetongue lizards (Tiliqua adelaidensis).

We were overwhelmed by the generosity of Officeworks staff and customers during June's Make a Difference Appeal, with the 10 stores across South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales who were supporting Nature Foundation raising $20,518 which will go directly towards our Kids on Country™ Junior Ranger Program!
