We use profits to fund land regeneration initiavties

Our CEO Richard Swain uses his expertise and knowledge of Country to guide our profits towards causes that are regenerating Country. We are proud to support:

  • Back to Country's vision is to heal Country and people through providing opportunities for Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal peoples to learn about traditional Yuin culture. They provide activities, programs and events which are centred around passing on traditional knowledge and learnings such as cultural camps, tours, ceremonies and land management.

  • Yambulla is located on Yuin Country near the Victorian border. Yambulla’s ambition is that by exploring ways to share Country we will develop productive, equitable and sustainable new models that other landowners will feel inspired to adopt.

  • Richard Swain is the Indigenous Ambassador for the Invasive Species Council, which works tirelessly to campaign about the impact of many invasive species on our Country.
