A look back at key milestones and how the organisation has grown.
Founded by Bob Brown and core group in Tasmania.
With the purchase of Fan Palm Reserve in Queensland, Bush Heritage took the first step to becoming a national organisation.
Brogo Reserve, New South Wales, was purchased after a donor approached Bush Heritage wanting to support the purchase of land that would protect Koala habitat - that was prescient!
With Kojonup, Bush Heritage protected the last large remnant of Wandoo woodland in south-west Western Australia. The acquisition demonstrated the organisation's commitment to working closely with local community groups in reserve management.
Bush Heritage took on the lease of Tasmania's Erith Island, in Bass Strait, and began the significant task of clearing the island of weeds and feral animals.
The purchase of this stunning, 121 hectare reserve on Tasmania's east coast extended the protection of its famous neighbour, Freycinet National Park.
New reserves acquired in Queensland and Tasmania.
Bush Heritage takes on the lease of Tasmania's Deal Island in the Bass Strait.
The area of land that Bush Heritage protected grew more with the purchase of two new reserves in New South Wales.
Tucked into the hinterland of Queensland's bustling Gold Coast lies Currumbin Valley Reserve, a tiny patch of regenerating rainforest protected in 2000 from the frenzy of development around it.
