Protecting and enhancing the Burnett Mary Region for future generations

Together we work to restore, protect, and build resilience in our natural environment, finding a positive balance between use & preservation. Pairing business, community, and investors, we deliver impactful projects which accelerate meaningful climate action while helping commerce and traditional owner culture thrive.

We achieve this by directing investment into a wide range of environmental and community-based programs that deliver positive outcomes in the areas of ecological diversity, sustainable land management, water quality, cultural heritage values and coastal and marine management. Community collaboration and partnerships are paramount to us achieving our vision.
