A huge challenge

In 2010 a group of Australian environmental philanthropists led by Jan Cameron's Elsie Cameron Foundation and Rob and Sandy Purves’ Environmental Trusts made the New Leaf Project possible. Jan, Rob and Sandy provided initial gifts of over five million dollars to start the fundraising efforts and pledged funds to help us with the massive reserve management task ahead.

They also made loans to the TLC to enable the purchase to proceed. To repay the loans, we have identified some properties that can be on-sold to conservation buyers and are seeking additional funds from you to ensure that as many properties as possible can be protected and kept by the TLC.

We need your help

As New Leaf is such a huge initiative, we are asking you to work with us over the next two years to assist in raising a crucial extra three million dollars. With your help we have now raised sufficient to permanently protect Skullbone Plains in the central highlands and now we are hoping to create a second permanent reserve in the north-east in the Blue Tier.

Each hectare of forest costs $735. For every hectare funded by you another two will be funded by Jan Cameron. Every hectare funded will be permanently protected for conservation. If we cannot raise sufficient funds, we may face re-selling some properties without conservation protections in place.
