The main activities are the Tree Scheme and Bush For Life. All seedlings are both native and indigenous to the area in which they are planted. Established in 1981, following a visit to Adelaide, South Australia, by International Tree Foundation founder Dr Richard St Barbe Baker. Run by an elected Board of Management and incorporated in South Australia. Administered by a small team of workers.
Many people feel that they want to do more to help protect the environment.
Trees For Life gives people an opportunity to take part in practical, effective and non-political programs that produce benefits for the whole community. Funding Trees For Life is an independent organization supported by member subscriptions, donations and corporate sponsorship. The South Australian government provides office accommodation at the Natural Resource Centre at Pasadena. The Bush For Life began in 1994 with 23 sites and has grown to 220 sites during 1999. Life coordinator Andrew Allanson won the 1995 inaugural State Landcare Award for Nature Conservation.
