Donate

Not everyone can donate time. When you make a financial contribution 100% of your donation will go toward supporting on-ground projects that directly benefit conservation.

Choose your project! The committee nominates a special project to direct general donations to each year however some people prefer to purchase plants for our habitat planting activities. As a guide, one indigenous plant costs $1.40.

Projects that have only been possible through member & community donations

• 2012-13. Donations this year will go toward nursery benches. With 80,000 tubestock required annually in order to meet our orders and community sales, our volunteers need an efficient and safe workplace. We wish to purchase up to 20 benches ($270 each) to raise all plants off the ground to limit the amount of bending and lifting required as well as assisting us to maintain healthy plant stock. Any donation toward the benches will be greatly appreciated.
• 2010-12. Member donations are going toward improving the depot – the Friends base for its revegetation, community education and Members Day activities. The depot is an old farm shed located on Woori Yallock Creek where over 2,000 people come each year to participate in our programs. The shed is a blank canvas – concrete floors, no heating, no permanent furniture or storage. We need to provide a better equipped venue and install additional toilets to provide a comfortable space for visitors to learn about & contribute to the conservation of Victoria's unique threatened species.
• 2009-10. A much needed upgrade to our community nursery and for a water saving improvement program was possible because of donations. Works undertaken will ensure continuity of water supply over summer. The Friends nursery produces in excess of 80,000 plants p/a for habitat plantings. We've improved the efficiency of our watering system, we've installed a security fence & are currently installing a new tank to increase our capacity to capture and store water. Thank you!
• 2008-09. Donations purchased a video monitoring surveillance camera for in-field nest predator surveillance. Nest predation is the primary reason for nest failure and loss of Helmeted Honeyeaters. They breed well. We need to help them get through their first weeks of life whereupon their long-term survival rate increases dramatically. A nest camera is now helping us to determine what management strategies are needed to protect the nestlings from predators. Thank you!
  
• 2007-08. Donations enabled the Friends to work with David Williams the artist of our children's book 'Hilton Hunts for a Home' and a member, Natalie Stewart, a retired art teacher to work with Yellingbo Primary School and create artwork for our promotional trailer. Thank you!
