Our history
Our story started more then three decades ago in 1991, in a wild slice of Tasmanian rainforest. Bob Brown made an important decision – one that was to have some major consequences for the Australian conservation scene.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people should be aware that this site may contain images, voices and names of people who have passed away.
Bush Heritage is a leading not-for-profit conservation organisation that protects ecosystems and wildlife across the continent. We use the best science, conservation and right-way knowledge to deliver landscape-scale impact.
We’re on the ground, working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and the agricultural sector to make sure our impact is deep, sustainable and collaborative.
Our vision is healthy Country, protected forever.
Our purpose is to return the bush to good health.
When you donate to us, your money is healing and protecting the bush, now and for future generations.
