Please support the Springbrook Rainforest Restoration Project

Protecting and restoring Springbrook's precious rainforest and cloud forest areas depends on your support.

The unique rainforests and cloud forests of Springbrook are surviving remnants of an ancient era when rainforest covered much of Australia, preserving rare, ancient lineages of plants and animals, many of them threatened, in the face of growing development, population pressure and climate change.

Our 20+ year partnership with the Queensland Government has seen over 200 hectares of high conservation value properties added to the National Park, followed by active regeneration of the rainforest canopy and preparation for their addition to the UNESCO Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage estate.

We are wholly funded by donations, volunteer support, and the profits of two accommodation businesses managed by ARCS on land acquired by the Queensland Government to support and underwrite this historic process of rainforest regeneration.

The ARCS Springbrook Rainforest Restoration Project is wholly funded by donations, volunteers and the profits of two accommodation businesses that are managed by ARCS on land acquired by the Queensland Government with the purpose of providing a source of long-term ongoing funding for the historic process of rainforest restoration.
