How does the Tree Scheme Work?
People who have rural land in South Australia can order native plant seedlings each year through Trees For Life. Choose from a list of trees, shrubs and understorey plants that occur naturally in your part of the State.
Seed is collected locally in each of 42 zones across South Australia
Revegetation provides environmental and economic benefits, including:
- prevention and management of soil salinity and erosion
- habitat for South Australia's unique wildlife
- shelter for farm animals, leading to improved stock survival
- improved crop yields with the planting of wind breaks
- reduction of land degradation by reducing soil erosion and salination
- reduction of greenhouse gases.
If you live in South Australia and have rural land that you wish to revegetate, you can order up to 1000 local native seedlings each year through Trees For Life’s Tree Scheme - we provide all the materials you need, or we can link you with a volunteer grower who will raise up to 500 seedlings on your behalf
