45 years ago, we planted our first tree. We’re nowhere near done. 🌱

Over four and a half decades, this community has grown millions of native plants, restored landscapes and brought habitat back to life across South Australia. But the next five years might be the most important yet.

Through Future Homes, Future Flocks, we’re turning our focus to the vulnerable Eastern Regent Parrot - one of South Australia’s most at-risk birds, with only 400 breeding pairs left in our state. To survive, they need connected habitat, and we have a plan to give it to them.

In the year ahead, we’ll grow 1,000 foraging plants and direct seed 20 hectares of new habitat. Over five years, we’re aiming for 50,000 plants and 100 hectares of restored, connected corridor, plus a new Seed Igloo to scale up our work for threatened species.

And it’s not just the parrots who’ll benefit. Healthy, connected habitat brings back life for countless native species that share the landscape.

Swipe through to see where we’re headed, then please help us get there. After 45 years, we’re just getting started, and we’d love you with us. 🦜

Growing a greener future together!

A heartfelt thank you to @‌WhyallaVeterinaryClinic for their incredible support of Trees For Life since 2006!

Their long-standing commitment to landscape restoration has helped achieve some remarkable outcomes across South Australia:

Around 60,000 trees planted
An estimated carbon impact of 12,084 tonnes

And their support continues to grow!

Whyalla Vet has recently made another generous donation towards our work on the Yorke Peninsula, helping us restore more of South Australia's precious native landscapes.

As Trees For Life CEO Jess shares:

“Support from organisations like Whyalla Vet means we can scale up our impact across South Australia’s regions.”

Thank you, Whyalla Vet, for being part of our journey and helping create a greener future for generations to come.

Did you know there’s another Trees For Life? 🌱

All the way over in the Scottish Highlands, there’s an environmental charity that shares our name - no relation! - and while on a recent holiday, our Seedbank Manager Mitchell couldn’t resist dropping in to see their site at Dundreggan Estate.

Turns out, two organisations on opposite sides of the planet have an awful lot in common. The day-to-day felt remarkably familiar to Mitchell, just with the details swapped around.

They manage deer grazing; we manage kangaroos. They look to Gaelic culture as a guide; we look to Aboriginal culture. And just like us, they collect, grow and plant native species to heal the landscapes around them. Same mission, 16,000km apart.

A few things gave Mitchell serious nursery envy, though. They have a beautiful visitor centre that tells the story of their Caledonian forest and all that’s been lost (you can even stay the night!), they’re able to do “bare root planting” of dormant species, and they’ve got their own Aspen breeding program. Oh, and around 100 seed collection volunteers. Very impressive.

Happily, the admiration went both ways. The Scottish team were rather taken with the mapping tools Mitchell uses back home.

A huge thank you to the team at @‌treesforlifeuk for their warm welcome and for sharing their work with us. It’s a lovely reminder that caring for nature is a global effort, carried out one patch at a time, by people who show up for it. 🌿

Future Homes, Future Flocks. For Riverland landholder Peter Freeman, the hope is simple: to one day see Regent Parrots nesting on his property.

But for these vulnerable native birds, finding safe places to nest and reliable food sources is becoming increasingly challenging.

With only 400 breeding pairs remaining in South Australia, restoring and reconnecting their habitat is more important than ever.

Through our 45th Birthday Appeal, we're working alongside landholders and conservation partners to restore vital habitat across the Riverland, creating more opportunities for Regent Parrots to feed, nest and thrive.

With your support, we can help turn hopes like Peter's into reality.

A peek inside a Regent Parrot’s world. 🌱

These remarkable images come from a nest camera high in a River Red Gum tree, capturing a glimpse of life most of us never get to see. A parent settling in. The careful work of raising young. And, if you look closely, a tiny face peering out from deep inside the hollow.

Moments like these are a beautiful reminder of what we’re working to protect. Regent Parrots return to these same hollows year after year, raising the next generation in the old trees along the River Murray… but with just 400 breeding pairs left in South Australia, every nest matters.

This is exactly why our 45th Birthday Appeal is restoring and reconnecting their habitat: so there are safe places to feed, shelter and nest for generations of flocks to come.

How well do you know the Regent Parrot? 🌱

These gentle, loyal birds return to the same nests year after year, forage across a wonderful variety of native plants, and watch over their fledglings in close-knit crèche flocks. But they’re also vulnerable - timid by nature, and facing threats to their nests and their habitat.

Swipe through for 5 things you might not know about them 🦜 then help us safeguard their future.

This year, our 45th Birthday Appeal is restoring vital habitat for the Regent Parrot. Every gift helps hope take flight.

“This has given us the opportunity to create generational trees.” 🌱

That’s Richard Halliday, a landholder at Lowan Vale, after establishing paddock trees on his property with our help - and it’s exactly what the Limestone Coast Paddock Tree Project is here for.

If you’re a Limestone Coast landholder, now’s the time to act: Expressions of Interest for 2026/27 close on Monday 9 November.

The project supports eligible landholders with seedlings, guards, fencing materials and expert advice to establish new paddock trees and protect existing ones - for the benefit of agriculture, wildlife, landscapes and wellbeing.

🌿 Don’t miss out! Submit your Expression of Interest before 9 November via:
https://treesforlife.org.au/TFLWeb/TFLWeb/What_we_do/Projects/Paddock-Tree-Projects.aspx?hkey=d06f8899-f0c3-4f01-836f-e699ee343640

This project is supported by the Limestone Coast Landscape Board with funding from the regional landscape levy.

At an @‌sawatercorp site on Formby Road, our Bush For Life staff and volunteers have spent the past two decades tackling large patches of invasive Erica, a woody w**d that smothers native ground-level plants.

Through years of careful removal and consistent follow-up, something wonderful is happening.

Native wildflowers are making a comeback!

While the cleared areas initially looked bare, removing Erica has allowed natural regeneration to take place. And this spring, beautiful native wildflowers are carpeting areas once dominated by the invasive w**d.

It's a lovely reminder that restoring native bushland takes patience, persistence and dedicated people.

A huge thank you to our Bush For Life staff and volunteers for helping nature thrive, one patch at a time.

Just 400 breeding pairs. That’s how many Regent Parrots are left in South Australia. 🌱

These timid, beautiful birds nest high in old River Red Gums and return to the same nests year after year, but as their habitat has been cleared, their numbers have fallen. Our 45th birthday campaign, Future Homes, Future Flocks, is about turning that around.

Here’s what your support will help us do:

🌿 In the next year

Plant 1,000 foraging food plants for Regent Parrots

Direct seed 20 hectares of new habitat in priority Riverland zones - the first stage of a bigger goal

🌿 Over the next five years

Seed up to 50,000 plants along the parrots’ breeding and flight corridor

Reach 100 hectares of restored, connected habitat (20 hectares a year)

Build a new Seed Igloo to store and dry 100kg of seed, so we can scale our impact for threatened species

Why it matters: Regent Parrots travel long distances to feed their chicks. More food, closer to home, means less strain on breeding birds and a better chance for the next generation to survive.

This is what 45 years of restoration has prepared us for. With you beside us, the next five could be the most important yet.
