Imagine a future where NSW’s animals and natural places are safe and thriving. You can help make that future possible. By including the NSW Biodiversity Conservation Trust in your Will, you’ll support important work that protects nature for generations to come. Your Will to Conserve will help keep Australia’s unique plants and animals safe.
Why leave a gift in your Will?
Nature needs our help. By leaving a gift in your Will, you can make a real difference.
Your support can permanently protect important natural areas in NSW to:
- protect endangered animals like koalas, spotted-tailed quolls and superb parrots
- bring damaged ecosystems back to life
- reconnect habitats so wildlife can move and thrive.
Your legacy will live on in the animals and places you protect and ensure future generations can know and enjoy them.
How your gift helps
Leaving a gift to the NSW Biodiversity Conservation Trust is a powerful way to protect nature.
You can choose to leave part of your estate, a set amount of money or even land.
Every gift helps protect the places and species that matter most.
Types of bequests you can make
There are several ways to leave your Will to Conserve:
- A pecuniary gift: a specific sum of money or property.
- A percentage of your estate: a portion of your overall estate value.
- A residuary gift: what remains of your estate after your loved ones have been provided for.
Any gift, large or small, can have a lasting impact.

I give [insert details of the bequest], free from all debts (secured and unsecured) and all duties (whether federal or state) payable in respect of my estate, to the Biodiversity Conservation Trust of New South Wales (ABN 37 151 321 702), a statutory body constituted under the NSW Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016 or its successor entity, absolutely for its general purposes, and I declare that a receipt of the authorised officer for the time being of the Biodiversity Conservation Trust or its successor entity will be a full and sufficient discharge of this bequest to my executor(s).
If you've made a bequest to the former Nature Conservation Trust, there is no need to update your Will. The NSW Biodiversity Conservation Trust is a continuation of that entity, and your gift will be honoured in full.
