Trailcam diaries: the community den.

We knew this was a porcupine den. What we didn’t know was quite how much traffic it gets.

Our trail camera has been keeping an eye on this little refuge, and the footage gives us a glimpse of one of the residents coming and going — before deciding to investigate the camera itself.

It’s another reminder that restoring habitat isn’t just about clearing what shouldn’t be there. It’s about making space for the wildlife that belongs there — and giving them places to live, shelter and move through the landscape.

Many thanks to The Sophia Foundation for the ongoing support for our corridor work.

Our 2026 Annual Report is out!

It’s been another packed year for Wild Restoration – a year of expansion, diversification and adaptation.

We’ve massively increased the area of invasive species cleared, the water saved and the number of community workdays supported. We’ve taken on new projects, deepened our work with private landowners, strengthened biodiversity monitoring and trail camera networks, and made real progress towards formal protection of important areas.

Increasingly, our work is connecting individual clearing projects into something bigger: restoring landscapes, creating living corridors, supporting wildlife movement and helping landowners protect biodiversity for the long term.

And none of this happens alone. Partnerships – with landowners, communities, conservation organisations, funders, volunteers and clearing teams – remain at the heart of what we do.

As we enter our fifth year, we’re taking a moment to look back at what has been achieved, what we’ve learned, and where we’re heading next.

Swipe through for a few highlights from the report, and thanks to everyone who has helped make this year possible. For the full report, click on link in bio.

Daily Maverick article featuring our wildlife corridor work

Rupert and Michelle were recently interviewed by Don Pinnock for to share the story behind our corridor work — reconnecting fragmented landscapes and creating pathways for wildlife to move between habitats.

The article also features some incredible images from our trail cameras, capturing the hidden lives moving through these restored landscapes. 📷

Sharing alien clearing techniques 🌱🎥

We’re gradually building a library of video guides covering different alien-clearing practices.

This one focuses on inoculating Hakea sericea using Hakatak. In short: mix the Hakatak spores with clean (preferably river) water, wound the stem near the base of the plant, spray the mixture onto the wound, and allow the fungal infection (gummosis) to develop. The treatment is most effective when applied in early winter under cool, moist conditions, ideally with rain forecast shortly afterwards🌧️. Leave the plant standing to allow the infection to spread through the plant.

Let us know if you have techniques you’d like to share, or suggestions for other videos we can develop over time.

✨ Spot the difference! 🌿

On Thursday there was an extraordinary collaboration between , , , , , Hemel-en-Aarde Conservancy, Hangklip Hardcore Hackers, and other volunteers from Kleinmond and Pearly Beach. In total, 56 crew members and volunteers came together to raise awareness for the critically endangered Erica karwyderei and help clear space for it to flourish. 💪

Over one hectare of extremely dense pine, hakea, Port Jackson, and gum was cleared — with great care taken over where we placed our feet!

We also discovered additional species of conservation concern 🌱 and set up a couple of trail cameras to see what else moves through this special landscape and connects into the biodiversity corridors to the north. 📷

See you at the next one!
