Over the next five years Bush Heritage will
be working to achieve the goals set out in the
Strategic Plan 201217.
One of our key strategies is to increase the area
of land over which we can influence conservation
management, with our goal being to reach 6 million
hectares. To achieve this goal we will need to be
innovative and engage more actively in those regions
in which we operate. We will need to continue to build
our organisational capacity, our financial security,
and the number of people who support us. We will
continue to learn from our experiences on the land
and share what we learn with others both nationally
and internationally.
Our key activities will include:
· developing innovative ways to secure and protect
biodiversity and natural landscapes
· establishing flexible and adaptable land
management strategies
· engaging with and applying traditional and scientific
knowledge to demonstrate and promote high quality
restoration of habitats and conservation outcomes
· establishing a culture of continuous improvement
in safety and land management
· using our properties and partnerships to leverage
additional conservation outcomes
· further developing an organisational structure
that effectively connects with the regions in
which we work
· working with leading research institutions to
advance the practice of land conservation and
the identification and protection of key landscapes,
plants and animals
· promoting the use and development of leading
conservation standards and tools
· building a supporter-base that will sustain our work
· designing and implementing sustainable revenue
streams for our growth
· increasing our annual revenue to $20 million
while closely managing costs
· engaging, inspiring and empowering people
to participate in our work
· engaging communities in our work in regional areas
· recruiting and retaining a skilled and diverse workforce
· managing an efficient and effective business capable
of delivering on our goals.
