Russell Landcare Trust is here to restore and protect the ecosystems of Russell peninsula.
Helping Our Native Species To Thrive
A community group which aims to restore the ecosystems of Russell Peninsula so native biodiversity can thrive and additional reintroductions of indigenous species can occur.
Volunteer, provide land access, do some backyard trapping, help in the nursery, or support through donations – every action counts!
We remove pests, restore habitats, and protect native wildlife through trapping, volunteer programs, and long-term conservation efforts.

Creating a Safe Haven on Russell Peninsula for Native Wildlife
Every trap set, every pest removed, and every habitat restored starts with you. Your support helps protect Russell’s native biodiversity for future generations.
Your donation doesn’t just fund boots on the ground – it also supports the essential work behind the scenes. From strategy and planning to biodiversity monitoring, health and safety, procurement, communications, and community outreach – every dollar helps ensure our projects and programs runs effectively.
Our Projects & Programs
From predator control and biodiversity monitoring to native habitat and dune restoration, we’re working together to regenerate and protect Russell’s unique ecosystems through community-driven conservation.
