Research proves challenging for the ex situ conservation of plant species affected by the 2020 bushfires but hidden secrets of the soil seed bank provide hope for post-fire recovery.
The National Parks Conservation Trust acknowledges all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Traditional Custodians of Country and recognises their continuing connection
to land, sea, culture and community.
We pay our respects to Elders past and present.

To our Donors, Supporters and Partners,
After 6 years of supporting transformational projects in and around Australia’s six Commonwealth national parks, 60 marine parks and the Australian National Botanic Gardens, The National Parks Conservation Trust we will be ceasing operations on June 30, 2025.
This was not an easy decision. It comes after a thorough review of our mission, impact and sustainability in today’s philanthropic landscape. We are deeply proud of what we have achieved together.
We want to express our deepest gratitude for your donations and your thoughtful participation, which has made our work possible.
While The National Parks Conservation Trust will no longer operate as an organisation, our mission continues through the people and communities we’ve worked with across the Commonwealth national parks and marine parks.
As we wind down, we are committed to a responsible closure: we are ensuring all remaining funds and assets are distributed in line with our Deed and charitable purpose. Rest assured all current projects underway will be seen through to completion by Parks Australia. Honoring these commitments is a key priority for us during this period.
Thank you for being part of our journey. Together, we’ve made a difference to the conservation of Commonwealth national parks and marine parks.
If you have any enquiries, please contact [email protected].
With deep appreciation,
Chair, Rhondda Dickson and all the Trustees
