The Environmental Water Trust is an independent, non-government charitable organisation that assists in the delivery of environmental water to rivers and wetlands, in order to enhance and restore freshwater systems, their associated ecosystems, ecological processes and biological diversity throughout Australia.  It works with local communities, water users and governments to achieve these crucial environmental outcomes.

The Environmental Water Trust is owned by The Nature Conservancy Australia and the Murray Darling Wetlands Working Group Ltd. The Murray Darling Wetlands Working Group is a not-for-profit, non-government company, with over 20 years’ experience managing and restoring wetlands in the Murray-Darling Basin.

The Nature Conservancy is one of the world’s leading conservation organisations, working to protect ecologically important lands and waters. Founded in 1951 in the United States, it now works in 69 countries, with a staff of nearly 4,000 – including 600 scientists. The Nature Conservancy Australia was formed in 2002.

We acknowledge the Traditonal Owners of the lands and waters we work, live and play on and pay respect to Elders past, present and emerging.
