Bush Heritage's constitution states that the principal reasons for which the organisation is established are:
-
to protect the natural environment for the long term through the acquisition and preservation of interests in or associated with land or water which is of high conservation value or environmental significance (as determined by the Board)
-
to preserve, restore or maintain the conservation value or environmental significance of the natural environment through the planned management of Bush Heritage’s property
-
to obtain funds or other property through donations, bequests, public appeals, special events and from the corporate sector
-
to provide financial or in kind assistance to others to protect and manage the natural environment
-
to provide advice to others about how to protect and manage the natural environment
-
to dispose of any land or water or interests in land or water owned by Bush Heritage:
-
because the land or water is either not of, or is no longer of, high conservation value or environmental significance for whatever reason as determined by the Board, or
-
in order to raise funds to further the objects of Bush Heritage, provided that the Board has taken proper steps to ensure that, where legally possible and where practicable, the conservation value or environmental significance of the land or water will be protected and preserved, whether by the use of restrictive covenants or similar instruments or otherwise or by disposing of such land, water or interests in land or water to an organisation with similar objects to Bush Heritage, or
-
to an organisation with similar objects to Bush Heritage who, in the opinion of the Board, is in a better position to conserve and protect the land
-
to buy or sell for the benefit of Bush Heritage any trading credits, sequestration rights or other similar interests in land, air or water
- to pursue business, sponsorship and other appropriate relationships with the public and private sector to achieve the objects of Bush Heritage.
