Thank you for helping fund the largest Nursery in the Daintree
Because of you, we will plant more trees than ever before
Your support is critical in the work we’re doing to protect and restore the Daintree… and we can’t thank you enough!
To deliver a tree-planting capacity of 150,000 trees a year, the nursery needs a range of practical items.
Thanks to your generous support, we can now:
- fund the staff resources needed to collect and propagate the seeds,
- purchase the consumables like potting mix, fertiliser, and soil media,
- fund upgraded irrigation systems that can handle the increased volume of trees,
- make sure that the nursery and restoration sites are prepared for critical future climatic events, and,
- buy the equipment on-the-ground staff need to prepare land for restoration.
We have the plans. We have the expertise and the staff. There is land to secure and transition from agriculture to habitat. And now, thanks to supporters like YOU, we have the funds to make the next step a reality.
We’re restoring and protecting rainforests forever, and whilst we’re not short on good work to do, we could not do it without you. Thank you!
“As I am sure you know, growing a tree from seed to planting is no small task. Now that we have a bigger nursery, there is more planning, more site management and much more staff management.”
— Marine Deliens, Nursery Manager
Your donation will help the Daintree’s largest nursery thrive.
When it comes to the Daintree—the most ancient of rainforests and Australia’s richest in biodiversity and size—development has left holes and literal chasms in the original forest. Cattle, sugar cane and development have all left their collective scars on this once pristine and contiguous marvel of Nature.
When you see the great clearings that divide the Daintree, it’s shocking to see what damage has been wrought. In some areas, the hillsides and valleys are denuded for many kilometres and there are countless other examples throughout, making a patchwork of destruction.
Yet, we can change this. We can repair it. We can make the Daintree grow again. And we say this with the kind of confidence and conviction that comes from witnessing this kind of regeneration firsthand.
This is what our nursery, complete with its expanded tree production, will deliver. Not just a few trees, but hundreds of thousands of trees—it is the birth of entirely new ecosystems— ones that reflect what true rainforest can become!
To reach our goal of planting 150,000 trees per year, we asked you to join us. We asked you to be truly visionary and to help fund the ongoing operations of this incredible facility – the Daintree’s largest nursery. And you heard our call. Your support is inspiring and we can’t thank you enough.
We are sure that you’ve heard the saying, ‘the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago… the second best time is now.’
PLANT A RAINFOREST
Our ‘Plant a Rainforest’ projects replant rainforest and re-establish habitat for plants and animals’ endemic to that specific ecosystem. We believe Trees Are The Answer.
