OneFortyOne and Nature Glenelg Trust have announced the continuation of their successful partnership with a renewed commitment of $50,000 for the upcoming year.
This partnership, which began in 2013, has been instrumental in supporting various biodiversity and conservation projects in the region.
OneFortyOne General Manager Forests Deon Kriek said that over the years, OneFortyOne and Nature Glenelg Trust have collaborated on numerous initiatives aimed at restoring and preserving natural habitats.
“One of the flagship projects of this partnership is the Mount Burr Swamp Restoration Reserve,” Mr Kriek said.
“With support including number of other contributors, this 300-hectare site has been transformed from drained agricultural land into a thriving ecosystem.”
Mr Kriek also highlighted the importance of the collaboration.
“We are proud to support Nature Glenelg Trust in their mission to restore the environment in our region,” he said.
“Our partnership reflects our shared values and commitment to environmental stewardship.”
The renewed funding will continue to support further restoration efforts at Mount Burr Swamp, education facilities, and contribute to the NGT Foundation.
Partnership funding has also underpinned a number of small regional biodiversity projects to support the Southern Brown bandicoot, Eared worm lizard, and Silver Xenica butterfly as well as a native grassland assessment and burning program in collaboration with Burrandies.
Managing Director/Founder of Nature Glenelg Trust Mark Bachmann expressed his enthusiasm for the continued partnership.
“The support from OneFortyOne has been a great contribution to our efforts to restore and protect critical habitats,” he said.
“This renewed commitment will allow us to build on the great work we have done so far.”
