Our Mission
01
What is The Nature Legacy?
The Nature Legacy is a defined area of land managed for long term environmental gain.
Each project is different, but may include native forest protection, pest control, deer fencing, weed control, threatened species protection, native planting, wetland restoration, stream protection, carbon forestry, or the gradual transition of production forest into permanent native forest.
The aim is simple.
To create nature projects which are real, measurable and enduring.
02
Why Forest Leaders?
Forest Leaders works across forestry, carbon, land management and environmental restoration.
We understand how to take a project from idea to implementation. This includes assessing the land, setting the management objectives, working through carbon and forestry options, securing funding, coordinating contractors, managing compliance and reporting back to landowners and supporters.
The Nature Legacy has been developed by Forest Leaders to give private landowners a practical pathway to protect and improve important natural areas without leaving them to carry the full cost alone.
03
How it works
Forest Leaders works with landowners to identify a suitable project area and develop a long term Nature Legacy Plan.
This plan sets out the purpose of the project, the environmental values, the work required, the funding model, the role of the landowner, the role of Forest Leaders and the outcomes supporters can help achieve.
Supporters can then contribute to the project through Nature Legacy contributions. These contributions help fund establishment works and ongoing management.
Depending on the project, this may include fencing, pest control, trapping, ungulate removal, weed control, planting, monitoring, reporting and long term stewardship.
