Remember wilderness in your Will

A gift in your Will to the Wilderness Society is a powerful way to touch the future without making any drastic change to your day-to-day life or current financial situation.
It will honour your memory, reflect your values and high regard for the environment, and serve for generations to come to protect this fragile continent and all who call it home.
A gift in your Will can make a difference by helping protect, restore and reconnect wilderness, providing a solution to climate change and contributing to a healthy, thriving planet for future generations to enjoy.
The Forever Wild Trust provides long-term, ongoing financial support to our WildCountry program, both now and beyond our lifetimes. When it comes time to writing or updating your Will, please consider the kind of environment you would like your family and future generations to experience.
Every gift, large or small, makes a real difference. Even a modest gift in your Will can help protect wilderness for future generations.

All had a fantastic day being educated about penguins and other seabirds by senior citizen scientist Dr Nick Dunlop. We got to watch penguin feedings and get up close and personal to the local ecology on the island.
There were masses of birds and vibrant colours abound with the variety of different plants and ground coverings creating a truly magical space and we were all very humbled to have such an intimate time there.
It was the perfect day to travel to Melbourne's vibrant Footscray Community Arts Centre on the Maribyrnong River for Forever Wild's annual campaign update. This year guests were treated to gorgeous sunshine and presentations from three of the Wilderness Society's talented campaigners.
