Kangaroo Valley Bush Retreat Landscape Rejuvenation hasn't added a story.
We need your help to bring back the vegetation, trees, and animals to our bush fire destroyed property.
Unfortunately, insurance only covers the cost for the actual buildings, it does not cover the beautiful landscaping or the return of the animals!
Kangaroo Valley Bush Retreat (KVBR) will always be a special wedding venue for so many people past and future. Its natural raw beauty from the rocky escarpment overlooking the treetops running down to the river gorge and the retreat’s cheeky local wildlife residents scurrying throughout the native plants have starred and helped create so many special memories and with your help, will continue to do so.
The devastating fires that have plagued the Shoalhaven area earlier this year have unfortunately decimated the Kangaroo Valley Bush Retreat and its surrounding landscape. No building was spared and it’s unique Australian flora and fauna were profoundly affected. The Bush Retreat is home to the rare and endangered Yellow Footed Rock Wallaby and the Brushed Tailed Rock Wallaby and the many wombats. We need to replant the Kangaroo Grass and Carex for them to feed on. The Orchids, Iron Bark, and Crimson Bottle Brush attracted the native bees and honey eaters. The Flax Lily for the native rodents, the False Sasperella for the insects, and so much more.
The hard work starts now. We all at KVBR believe we have an obligation to regenerate this unique bush property and provide a natural sanctuary for the region’s native plants and wildlife. Furthermore, we owe it to the amazing community of Kangaroo Valley and all our suppliers within our tourism industry to bring back to life what has been named Australia’s most picturesque valley. Our beautiful property means so much more to so many.
Our buildings are covered on insurance to be rebuilt but the grounds and landscape is not. | Our once beautiful land which helped make so many memories needs your help to recover! |
KVBR’s buildings will be replaced with new eco-friendly designs. Unfortunately, the unique landscape and biosphere have been so badly damaged, that it requires us to actively rejuvenate the area. We need professionally qualified Bush Horticulturists to help us with this. Additionally, the loss of this habitat is NOT covered by any insurance. In order to restore our stunning bush landscape, we need your help. Every dollar collected will go directly into the landscape, buying as many plants as we can.
We are not doing this on our own. Since the fire, KVBR has been inundated with so many generous offers of assistance, and now is the time that we can start to accept these offers. We are asking if you can please pledge a donation to help restore what was once a stunning natural bush landscape, and share this with family, friends, and colleagues, every donation truly does make a difference.
It’s amazing how fast some of the bushfire impacted regions have regenerated and with your help, we have no doubt our beautiful venue will be back in all its natural glory by the time we reopen.
Thank you so much for your time in reading this. Please only donate if you can afford to, we have appreciated the emotional support of many people and truly do appreciate this. Re-establishing and regenerating our plants and wildlife will truly be amazing for all to see in time to come. We are working hard on our rebuild and we are hoping to reopen for weddings by mid-2021, and perhaps to maybe even see you there one day too!
If you are able to help get this fundraiser out there, by sharing with family, friends and on social media that would be amazing! The bush fires have truly been so devastating and hope that you have stayed safe through this time.
