๐ŸŒ A registered conservation charity

Rooted in hope.
Growing wild again.

Wildrealm Trust restores forests, shields wildlife and brings a growing community of volunteers, donors and dreamers together โ€” because the wild deserves a second chance.

Who we are

Small team. Big roots. A growing wild community.

We started with one shovel, three friends and a hillside that had lost everything. Today Wildrealm is a nationwide conservation charity โ€” still shovels first, still community first.

Everything we do is grounded in local partnerships: landowners, schools, indigenous communities and scientists working shoulder to shoulder to bring ecosystems back to life.

  • Science-led planting that restores native diversity
  • Wildlife corridors reconnecting fragmented habitats
  • Every dollar tracked, every tree geotagged

How it works

Three simple ways to grow something wild

You don't have to be a scientist to save a forest. Pick the door that fits you.

1 ยท Give

A monthly gift plants trees, funds patrols and pays for science. From $5 a month.

2 ยท Grow

Volunteer on planting days, or start a garden program in your neighbourhood.

3 ยท Restore

Follow your trees from the app โ€” watch habitats come back, season by season.

Make it a legacy

Give today. The forest remembers.

Your donation plants real trees, in real soil, monitored until they stand on their own. Every gift of $10 plants and cares for a sapling for its first three years.
