As they did this work, native animal life began to return. My partner Linda and I visited Tower Hill in 1993, about 33 years after the restoration had begun. The diversity and beauty of the site was astounding. It was inspiring to witness the ability of Nature, with human help, to recover from destructive human activities.

They have shown us the way. Tower Hill is a monument both to the wildlife of Australia and to the growing human sense of love and responsibility for Nature. The restoration of Tower Hill .
