🌱 Funding is now open to help KI landholders undertake practical projects that improve waterway health, strengthen productive farmland and protect our Kangaroo Island’s biodiversity.

Funding may support:

💧 fencing to protect creek lines and riparian vegetation
🌿 revegetation with native tube stock
🐄 stock crossings that reduce erosion and sediment
🚰 relocating livestock watering points away from waterways

All Kangaroo Island landholders are eligible to apply, with priority given to projects in northern catchments and works that benefit threatened species and ecological communities.

You don’t need to begin with a huge project. Every creek line protected, native seedling planted or waterway restored contributes to healthier farms, healthier catchments and a more resilient Kangaroo Island.

📅 Applications close Sunday 11 October 2026.

This project is funded by the South Australian Government.



📸 Wisanger farmer Bek Bott and Kangaroo Island Landscape Board Narrow-leaved Mallee Project Officer Kym Lashmar inspect a riparian revegetation project on the Bott family's property. More than 2,100 native seedlings were planted in 2025 to improve water quality, strengthen biodiversity and build farm resilience, with a further 2,000 seedlings planned this year.

🐸 Calling all Kangaroo Island frog spotters 🐸

The FrogWatch SA Spring Census starts today.

From 1–8 September, residents are encouraged to record frog calls in their gardens, farm dams, creeks, wetlands or local bushland.

Every recording contributes valuable information that helps ecologists map frog species and understand where populations are thriving and how they change over time. Even recording a location where no frogs can be heard provides useful data.

No experience is required—experts will identify the calls you submit.

📲 Download the FrogSpotter app, step outside, listen for KI’s spring frog chorus and submit your recording.

📅 Thursday 3 September | 9 am–4.30 pm
📅 Saturday 5 September | 8.20 am–12 pm

📍 KI Native Plant Nursery, 22b Telegraph Road, Kingscote

A huge thank you to everyone who has supported the nursery this season and helped get thousands of locally grown native plants into the ground across Kangaroo Island. 🙌
