Banrock Station Wetlands
The Banrock Station wetlands stretch across 250 hectares of lagoons and 1,000 hectares of natural habitat in South Australia’s Riverland. These wetlands act as living water filters, nurseries of the valley, and can play a vital role in capturing carbon - helping to protect this unique landscape for the future.
What we're doing
Partnering with Landcare Australia, together we have planted 100,000 native trees and shrubs each year, across Australia.
Banrock Station is much more than a winery, but also wetlands spreading over 1000 hectares. The wetlands provide a haven for over 17,000 native plants, animals and threatened birdlife. The wetlands also act as a carbon capture helping produce clean air and reduce climate change.
In 2021 we partnered with Landcare Australia to plant natives trees and shrubs, creating habitats for Australian wildlife and communities to enjoy while removing harmful carbon from the atmosphere for generations to come.
"Investing in healthy landscapes is important for our environment as trees and shrubs cycle the oxygen we breathe, filter the water we drink, provide habitat for iconic and endangered wildlife, and sequester carbon, all while supporting the wellbeing of local communities too."

How it started
From restoring our wetlands in 1995
We’ve been partnered with Landcare Australia since 1995, when together we restored 1,000 hectares of internationally important wetlands at Banrock Station’s home in the Riverland. Restoring and protecting these wetlands led to their listing as a Ramsar Wetland of International Importance in 2002.
