Conservation Conversations 2025

We are delighted to invite you to attend our annual in-person Conservation Conversations evening.

This is an excellent opportunity to not only catch up socially but also to stay updated on Nature Foundation's recent activities and achievements and engage in stimulating conversations with passionate conservationists.

Hosted by intrepid rural journalist Prue Adams, the evening will occur in two parts: an update from Nature Foundation, followed by an exploration of the topic of threatened native plant species, with special guests Jo McPhee (Manager, Kangaroo Island Native Plant Nursery), Professor Hugh Possingham and Dan Duval (Senior Collections Officer, SA Seed Conservation Centre at the Botanic Gardens & State Herbarium).
