Wild Macadamia Conservation

Our Organisation

You are here: Home / About Us / Our Organisation

In July 2025, the Macadamia Conservation Trust  becomes Wild Macadamia Conservation, an independent charity and registered environmental organisation dedicated to:

Supporting and conserving Australian wild macadamia trees and their native habitat.

We remain a group of people dedicated to protecting wild macadamias. We love to find out more about them and their forest homes. We work to make sure that the four species of Macadamia and their habitats continue to exist and flourish into the future. 

We started as an informal Macadamia Conservation Committee in 2004 and became the Macadamia Conservation Trust in 2007, to raise funds to support macadamia conservation. Our Trustee for 18 years was the Australian Macadamia Society, peak body for the Australian macadamia industry.  

With the help of our supporters, we maintain a government-endorsed Recovery Plan that guides our conservation activities.

This is the Wild Macadamia Conservation strategic plan for 2024 – 2029:
