The money and property donated to the Bush Heritage Australia Fund in 2019-2020 has allowed the organisation to achieve many things in line with its principal purpose and the four key themes and associated objectives outlined in Bush Heritage’s 2017-2022 Strategic Plan. Under the first theme, ‘Landscape-scale conservation management’, our achievements include protecting and supporting the management of 11.3 million hectares through our 36 reserves, 25 Aboriginal partnerships and nine regional partnerships. We also made significant progress in recovering from Australia’s worst ever fire season which saw 25,290 hectares burnt on Bush Heritage reserves. In Tasmania, we expanded the area of land protected through stewardship agreements via the Midlands Conservation Fund by 60 percent, to more than 7300 hectares. These agreements are helping to safeguard the last remaining remnants of native vegetation in this agricultural landscape and are therefore vital to the protection of many threatened species. Over the last year, we commenced work on two innovative revegetation projects that will increase the resilience of our reserves in the face of climate change. In Western Australia, we commenced our biggest ever revegetation project, planting more than 1 million trees on our Eurardy Reserve. It’s estimated this project will capture more than 90,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide over its 10 year duration — equivalent to removing 20,700 passenger vehicles from the road for a year. In Victoria, over 9000 Grey Box and Yellow Box seeds were collected from locations across south-eastern Australia, propagated and planted on our Nardoo Hills Reserve where large areas of tree dieback have occurred. The collection locations were chosen based on modelling that identified areas with climates analogous to the hotter, drier climate predicted for the Nardoo Hills region in 30-70 years’ time. In line with theme 2 of our strategic plan, ‘Science and knowledge’, the results of the experiment will provide information and a model for similar revegetation projects elsewhere in Australia. The Black Summer bushfires posed significant challenges for us over the past year, but they also had some silver linings and helped us achieve the objectives associated with our third strategic theme, ‘Engage and Inspire’. At the start of 2020, well-know USA-based philanthropic foundations the Earth Alliance and Global Wildlife Conservation donated to our bushfire recovery efforts. More than 900 media articles about the donation reached a potential global readership of over 1 billion people, exposing our brand to a new audience and allowing us to engage with many potential new supporters.
