REFOREST NOW
Restoring Australian Rainforests
Southern Crossings is proud to partner with ReForest Now to support travel for positive impact, help address climate change and regenerate Australia’s spectacular rainforests.
Northern New South Wales-based ReForest Now is a not-for-profit registered charity that works to regenerate and reforest sites that have been impacted by extreme weather events and land clearing. Their team and passionate volunteers grow seedlings that are planted and maintained to enhance the health and biodiversity of sensitive habitats that support a number of endangered plants, birds, insects and animal life.
The ReForest Now nursery grows more than 230 different native plant varieties to help reestablish diverse ecosystems. Seedlings are then planted and supported until they are well established and self-sufficient to ensure the projects’ success.
The focus of ReForest Now’s plantings is in the Northern NSW region once known as the ‘Big Scrub’, Australia’s largest expanse of subtropical rainforest. Only 1% of the Big Scrub remains today, but the region is still home to a bountiful biodiversity, many species of which are rare and endangered, highlighting the importance of their work.
Southern Crossings plants a tree on behalf of every Australian journey booked with us, creating a positive impact and a lasting connection with Australia for every Southern Crossings traveller.
many many many thanks!!!!!!
We have been blown away by everything - hotels, food, people, golf, wine - the list is endless. You did an amazing job
Planning a 7 week trip is daunting enough without the complications of COVID cancellations, rebookings, and closures. Yet every connection, every transportation detail, every accommodation, every meal, everything was flawless.
From our arrival in Sydney .. to our last stop in Queenstown .. we will carry with us the best memories of our trip and all of your efforts. The incredible private boat tours .. the bespoke wine tours with the best guides .. our accommodations .. and the excellent itinerary and pacing, made for a perfect trip.
We can't thank Southern Crossings enough for making this trip all, and more, than we had imagined. You allowed us to see the best of your countries: the people, the beauty, the culture. Five stars, a blue ribbon, and a gold medal to everyone at Southern Crossings!
Your country, its people and your team could not have made us feel more welcome.
Thank you for all the special moments you enabled us to experience.
