A few years ago, this hillside in Hindmarsh Valley National Park was just pasture. Now it has layers: shrubs and trees taller than a person, with new seedlings coming through.

We walked the site with regional ecologist Anthony Abley, who's been restoring this land paddock by paddock for years with funding from FNPW. And the wildlife is starting to answer.

Swamp rats and bush rats are returning.
An endangered orange daisy that used to cling on along roadsides is now spreading across ground that was recently just pasture.
Even fire, once the thing everyone feared, is being used here on purpose, to bring back exactly the conditions native bandicoots need.

Read the full story of what's coming back to Hindmarsh Valley, with thanks to our partners at One Tree Planted and SA department for department for environment and water.

🌿 Happy World Rainforest Day!
Here's a fact that surprises people: a rainforest doesn't need to be huge to matter. It needs to be connected.

Picture a national park as an island. Animals are born there and grow up there, but if they can't get out, that's where the story ends. No new territory, no other populations to breed with, nowhere to go if fire tears through or the climate shifts.

A corridor fixes that. It's a strip of protected land linking one patch of habitat to another, like a hallway between two rooms. Sometimes that means working with private landholders on the edges of a park, helping them protect or restore habitat on their own land so it joins up with what's already conserved next door.

Why it matters:
🐾 Stronger genetics, as populations can mix and breed across a wider area
🔥 Climate resilience, so wildlife can move to find food and shelter when conditions get tough
🌱 Natural recolonisation, giving lost species a way back without a reintroduction program
🦘 More room to roam, which many of our native species genuinely need to thrive

There's no ribbon cutting moment for corridor land. But it's some of the most important work we do, turning a patchwork of isolated parks into one living, connected landscape.

Sometimes saving a forest isn't about the trees you can see. It's about the path you leave open between them.

When Gruen puts Australia's full bush in the same sentence as Beckham's balls, you know you've made it 🌳

After all, Bringing Back The Bush is all about sparking conversations that are loud, a little cheeky and impossible to ignore.

Just like Australia's bush, wombats don't suit the bare look 🐾

Meet Harry - 12 months ago he was found in regional NSW, underweight, barely able to see and too exhausted to run.

Mange had taken most of his fur and the vet said another week in the paddock and he wouldn't have made it.
Today, Harry is back to his full health thanks to the generous support of people like you.

And he's not alone. In 2025, FNPW helped deliver 18,582 treatments just like Harry's.
Thousands of wombats are still out there and they need your help to get their bushy look back.

Read Harry's full story and find out how $35 can change everything → http://bit.fnpw.org.au/bush

Make your tax-time gift count. Donate before 30 June and help more wildlife like Harry find their way home. 🐾

Have you ever looked closely at a Grevillea flower?

Those intricate, spider-like blooms are one of the most important feeding stations in the Australian bush. Honeyeaters, lorikeets, possums and native bees all rely on their abundant nectar, making Grevilleas a quiet but vital thread in the fabric of our ecosystems.

With over 360 species, Grevilleas grow across almost every corner of Australia, from rainforest edges to arid outback plains, coastal scrubland to alpine country. Chances are there's one native to wherever you call home.

And yes, you can absolutely grow them in your backyard. Many species are hardy, drought-tolerant, and low-maintenance once established.

Plant one and you're not just adding something beautiful to your garden, you're putting out a welcome mat for local wildlife. 🌿🐦

Proud to support this incredible work on Kaurna Yarta.

The Igniting Kaurna Cultural Understanding for All project with our partners at Firesticks brings together Cultural Fire, ecological restoration and First Nations land management knowledge to reduce fuel loads and restore native grasslands at Field River in Adelaide.

Costa Georgiadis and the Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife want Australians to help bring back Australia's bush, one habitat at a time.

04/06/2026

📍Save this if you also look better with a full bush 🌳

It's World Environment Day and together with Costa Georgiadis we're calling on all Australians to help Bring Back The Bush.

Because invasive species, climate change and land clearing have been taking the clippers to country for decades and right now we're at risk of losing 2,320 native species for good.

Our wildlife can't take another bad haircut 🍃🦜🐨

Australia looks better with a full bush - will you help grow it back?

It's not too late to jump on this trend. Just like it's not too late to save the bush from going bald.
