For over 50 years, Trust for Nature has worked alongside Victorians to create a future where our native plants and animals can be valued, protected and thrive. As one of Australia’s oldest conservation organisations, we have unique powers enshrined in legislation to protect Victoria’s natural wonder forever.

By making a bequest to Trust for Nature, you will leave a legacy that will last forever.

We have the tools and expertise to permanently protect, conserve and regenerate private land in Victoria to create and sustain a healthy and vibrant landscape – but we need resources to do it. A bequest gift could support Trust for Nature’s strategic conservation priorities, helping us to:

• Increase total area of private land protected by law in Victoria, enabling more Victorians to work together to protect the last of what’s left of our precious nature
• Buy land of high conservation value to protect it with a conservation covenant, leading to permanent, transformative impact
• Fast track resources to protect priority ecosystems that are most at-risk of habitat loss, resulting in additional under-represented ecosystems and climate change refuges protected forever
• Level up our stewardship program to support landholders in managing their land for conservation
• Prioritise partnerships and opportunities for Traditional Owners and traditional land management practices.

If you are considering making a bequest to Trust for Nature in your Will – thank you, making such a gift is an incredible, life-giving contribution to protecting nature.

Making a Will can be a surprisingly joyful experience, as it grants peace of mind and ensures that your wishes for your Estate are captured. A Will is the most important and far-reaching document that anyone will draw up and sign during their lifetime.

Most people will have assets of some kind to leave behind, such as property, investments and superannuation. Every individual’s wishes regarding what will happen to those assets beyond their lifetime requires a Will.

If you already have a Will, congratulations on your foresight. Reviewing and updating your Will when necessary is important if circumstances change which impact on your bequest wishes and decisions.

Primarily, your Will assists in safeguarding the future of your loved ones when you are no longer with them. By recording your wishes regarding your assets, your Will also protects other aspects of life important to you, and can include your preferences of a more personal kind.
