Seed the Future

National Seed Bank

Support the National Seed Bank to uncover the germination secrets of native plants.

Collecting and storing seed in seed banks is one of the most powerful ways to combat the global decline of plant diversity, an insurance policy against extinction.

The National Seed Bank holds collections of Australian native plant species from all over the country. As well as the physical seed collections, storage and research facilities, the Seed Bank staff and its 30+ volunteers, provide expertise in seed banking practices, seed biology, seed research and ex situ conservation.

With increasing threats to native plants, more scientific research is needed to uncover natures secrets on how to bank, germinate and grow species. Understanding their responses to stress and change can enable wild populations to be restored.

Your donation will help support this important research.

Public Statement from The National Parks Conservation Trust

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
