AEGN Northern Territory Field Trip 2025

An immersive 5-day experience thoughtfully curated for those interested in environmental philanthropy, in a region rich in culture, biodiversity and breathtaking landscapes.

Sun 27 July - Fri 1 August 2025

Explore untamed natural places

The NT’s natural places are a national treasure, from thriving tropical savannas, incredible arid zones and ancient springs to thousands of kilometres of mangroves and sparkling coastline.

These special places are under threat from extractive industries, agri-business and climate change. Solutions must be viewed through the lens of First Nations people and the social and economic factors at play in the Top End.

Learn First Nations-led solutions

Join this AEGN field trip to meet and hear from leading campaigners, practitioners, scientists, Traditional Owners and community members.

Meet world-class experts

Help shape a better world

Explore cross cutting solutions and consider the role for philanthropy in realising a regenerative/sustainable future for the NT that aligns with culture, Country and community.
