Wild Cherry Nature Connection derives its name from the native Cherry Ballart tree, which grows throughout Australia.
Dependent on it’s community of plants for survival, the tree produces a delicious edible red cherry. It is both resilient and abundant, reflecting the qualities that inspire our programs. We love our country, our kith. Sandy beaches, tall forests, rock, salt water, river and open skies have formed us, and as we connect to these elements everyday, together with our Wild Cherry tribes, we weave and strengthen the webs that sustain us all.
