Organisation Summary

Nature Glenelg Trust (NGT) is a not-for-profit, charitable environmental organisation that commenced operations in January 2012.

Our diverse team of professional ecologists have experience across all fields of ecology, working hard to restore ecosystems and recover threatened species in the temperate agricultural regions of Victoria, SA, Tasmania and NSW.

Recovery or protection of biodiversity values in agricultural regions is not a simple exercise and cannot be tackled alone. We choose to work cooperatively, side-by-side with the wide range of land managers (both private and public) who are now custodians of land in places where we have identified that the trend of biodiversity loss, and an associated decline in other natural resources, can be reversed through clever, targeted, carefully planned and scientifically-sound on-ground action.

Where possible, we target the restoration of ecological drivers and processes, to capitalise on natural regeneration potential. We take the time to deeply understand the history of the places where we work and listen to the people who know these places, so that ecological restoration plans are well informed, carefully considered and able to describe and define the trajectory of change experienced by a site since European colonisation.

In rare cases, the potential strategic value of a site may justify an alternative approach. Hence, NGT has also stepped forward to establish a small number of our own Reserves. NGT Reserves are places for demonstrating the applied scientific principles that underpin our work, engaging with the community and inspiring others to act.
