Macadamia industry support

There is a flourishing industry based on growing, processing and selling macadamia nuts. Some of these businesses support the conservation of wild macadamias and their habitat through project sponsorship – see details on our the News and Projects page.

Special thanks to Marquis Macadamia which has donated $10,000 a year since 2015 – we use these funds to restore macadamia habitat, and to support new and innovative conservation projects such as the macadamia longevity project and cryopreservation of macadamia embryos for long-term storage of wild DNA.

The David Knappick Foundation generously supported research that confirmed the importance of wild macadamia genetic diversity to the development of cultivars with improved performance and resistance to pests and disease.

Two growers, the Steinhardt family and Big Scrub Macadamias have made a long term commitment to host wild macadamia arboreta.  These living collections will be an insurance policy against unexpected loss of wild populations through fire, flood or illegal clearing.

MWT Macadamia made a wonderful contribution when they authorised Grower Services Officer Andrew Burnside to spend part of his time supporting macadamia conservation.  Now retired, MCT is lucky to have Andy as an active member of our Management Committee.

Thanks to all our supporters, past and present:
