Vision 


Vision of FoGI for the Granite Island Nature Park is to restore and enhance its environmental assets, especially the native flora and the habitat it provides for native fauna. The ultimate aim is to enhance the experience of visitors to the island whereby it becomes more enjoyable, rewarding and memorable.

Role 


Granite Island Dolphin

The role of FoGI is to work in collaboration with, and under the guidance of, the Adelaide and Mt. Lofty Ranges Natural Resources  (AMLRNR)  to progressively and incrementally revegetate the Granite Island Nature Park. We aim to achieve a number of resource management objectives that include (but are not limited to): conserving native plant species indigenous to the island; controlling the spread of introduced weed species; restoring habitat for native fauna species and reducing risks of soil erosion.
