Nature Glenelg Trust (NGT) is a not-for-profit environmental organization based in South Australia and Victoria. Founded in 2011, their work is regional-focused, emphasizing on-ground action and community involvement. The organization operates as a unique combination of a community environmental NGO, professional ecological consulting service, and an environmental charity, making them distinct from most organizations.
NGT's primary focus is to bring investment for biodiversity projects into the region, actively seeking government and non-government grants. The organization also offers ecological consulting services through its trading names, Aquasave Consultants and NGT Consulting, providing a financial contribution to support its not-for-profit activities. This enables them to engage in a wide range of environmental objectives, including wetland restoration and native plant and wildlife protection.
In line with their commitment to positive action, NGT has also established a Public Fund, the Habitat Restoration Fund, allowing tax-deductible donations to be invested directly into habitat restoration projects, with a particular emphasis on wetland restoration, ensuring the money is spent on the ground.
Overall, Nature Glenelg Trust's community-focused approach, combined with its ecological consulting services and environmental charity initiatives, positions the organization as a valuable player in the regional environmental conservation landscape.
