Because
of you.
Mara, here's a short look back at what your generosity set in motion.
You gave on June 24. That was the spark.
A burnt ridge is turning green again
Your gift of $250 on June 24 put native trees back in the ground at Bimbi Valley — and the wildlife is following them home.
Two summers ago, fire took the whole of Bimbi Valley. The old forest — the one the gliders and the pygmy possums knew — was gone in an afternoon. What was left was ash, and a silence you could feel.
This winter, your trees went in: 4,200 native seedlings along the ridge where the canopy used to stand. Spotted gum and blackwood, banksia and wattle — the exact mix the valley grew before it burned.
The rangers have already recorded nineteen species moving back through the young growth. Last month, for the first time since the fire, someone heard a powerful owl calling after dark.
For two years this ridge was quiet. Now there's birdsong at dawn again.
You were part of every bit of it.
You're in the top 6% of everyone rewilding the bush with Everwild. The ridge is greener because you gave.
- This springRangers walk the ridge, counting which of the 4,200 seedlings took root.
- Next winterThe next season of seedlings — already waiting in the nursery — goes into the ground.
- In five yearsThe canopy closes over, and the gliders come home for good.
Thank you, Mara.
