The Forktree Project

We’re bringing back Australia’s lost ecosystem

In South Australia, the Forktree Project is working to bring these lost ecosystems back. Guided by the First Nations community and led by climate scientist and explorer Tim Jarvis, the project is transforming the land back into the paradise it once was. To kick off the project, Tim sat down with First Nations elders to understand exactly which plants once shaped this place, and how they could be restored. Now, the team is restoring and protecting critically endangered native plants in a rare seed orchard, growing them in specialist nurseries before planting them in the wild. And this is only the beginning. As a pilot project, Forktree’s learnings will be shared with Indigenous rangers, helping support the restoration of potentially thousands of hectares.
