Every Tree Counts- How you can help!

Caring for and revegetating native habitats is more than just a benefit for the local wildlife - like our koalas—it’s about creating a healthier, more vibrant environment for all of us. By restoring natural landscapes, we’re not only supporting biodiversity but also enhancing essential ecosystem services.

A recent milestone in our conservation journey is the inclusion of Cleland National Park in the Queen's Commonwealth Canopy (QCC). This honour places Cleland alongside only two other Australian sites—Queensland's Bulburin National Park and the ancient rainforests of K’gari. As the final site to be added to the QCC before the program concluded, Cleland's 1,036 hectares of native vegetation stand as a testament to the rich biodiversity of the Mount Lofty Ranges. This recognition not only highlights our commitment to preserving these landscapes but also inspires us to continue our work, ensuring that these natural treasures are protected and celebrated for generations to come.

Volunteers from Friends of Parks, Cleland Wildlife Park, National Parks and Wildlife, and organisations such as the Aldgate Valley Landcare Group and Upper Sturt Reaches Landcare Group, are doing incredible work in preserving and restoring these precious habitats. With the support of citizen science groups, who monitor and report on local biodiversity, we’re fostering a deeper connection between people and the natural world around them.
