The National Trust of South Australia, established in 1955, is dedicated to safeguarding and preserving the natural and built heritage sites of South Australia. With a focus on promoting the significance of heritage to our lifestyle, economy, and communities, the Trust plays a vital role in conserving the rich history of the region. Through initiatives like the Silver to Sea Way heritage regeneration project, the Trust aims to attract visitors to explore the stories along the route from Port Pirie to Broken Hill, showcasing the diverse heritage of the area.
Members of the National Trust of South Australia actively participate in the conservation efforts for the state’s heritage sites, emphasizing the importance of protecting these assets for future generations. The Trust’s unique collections and objects are spread throughout the state, offering a glimpse into the history and culture of South Australia. Additionally, the Heritage Living magazine produced by the Trust features engaging stories on advocacy, heritage issues, travel, events, and more, providing a platform to celebrate and raise awareness about the region’s heritage.
Recognizing the Traditional Owners and occupants of the lands and waters in South Australia, the National Trust of South Australia pays deep respect to their spiritual, cultural, and heritage beliefs. The Trust relies on the support of individuals, couples, and families through its patron program to continue its core operations and conservation efforts. By offering opportunities for volunteering and hosting events at historic Adelaide venues, the Trust invites the community to actively engage in preserving the pristine natural environments and architectural treasures that define South Australia’s heritage.
