Conservation SA is pleased to release the organisation's annual report for 2022–2023.

Adelaide is losing its significant, regulated and mature trees at an alarming rate. We need to act – and act quickly – before it’s too late.

We’ve distilled our asks for reform of tree protections down to ten priorities. 

Download them here!

Now is a great time to build the momentum for change, so be a tree champion by clicking here and adding a couple of details to personalise the email seeking support for these ten priorities.

The email will be sent to Minister Nick Champion, Shadow Minister Michelle Lensink, the Premier and the Expert Review Panel members.  

If you would prefer to make your own submissions you can email these people at the following addresses:

Making a Will means that you can decide how your legacy will be distributed. You should take care in making your Will that it is worded precisely, that it accurately reflects your wishes, and that it is a legally valid document. It is a good idea to consult with your solicitor in drawing up or amending you Will.

We strongly recommend that you discuss any bequests with your family or other beneficiaries so that they are aware of and understand your wishes.

You may wish to use the following wording in your will as a guide, but it is important to check with your legal adviser:

"I bequeath to the Conservation Council of South Australia Inc. (a specified sum), or (specified items), or (the residue of my estate) free of all duties, and the receipt of the Secretary or other authorised officer for the time being shall be a complete and sufficient discharge for the executor(s)".

For more information about bequests, please use this form to contact our Bequest Donor Liaison Manager, or phone (08) 8223 5155.
