Because of you, a burnt ridge is turning green again.

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.”— Jomo, Everwild field ecologist
