In the 1980s tree cover decline was acknowledged as having a serious adverse impact on [[Agriculture in Australia|agricultural]] and pastoral productivity. Removal of tree cover was also linked the development [[salinity]], [[soil]] degradation and [[erosion]] and declining [[water]] quality.

Greening Australia has been involved in many restoration projects since its inception, including the National Tree Program, the One Billion Trees Program, and [[Green Corps]] providing trees, technical advice and education, volunteer coordination and funding for restoration projects.

On [[World Environment Day]] 1998, Greening Australias work was recognised with admission to the [[United Nations Environment Programme]] Global 500 Roll of Honour.

==Projects==

===Saltshaker===

The Saltshaker Project is an initiative of [[Greening Australia]], SE NSW, the [[Boorowa Regional Catchment Committee]], and [[Boorowa Council]], in association with the [[Boorowa Landcare Network]], to tackle [[dryland]] [[soil salinity|salinity]], reduced [[water quality]], and [[biodiversity]] in [[Boorowa, New South Wales]]. It is funded by the [[Natural Heritage Trust]], and involves nearly 70 landowners.

At the start of the project, [[David Freudenberger]] of [[CSIRO]] Sustainable Ecosystems conducted a bird survey. As of [[2004]], AUS $1.8 million had been spent, and over 9.3 square kilometres had been revegetated, with over 110,000 trees and shrubs planted and 900 kilometres of tree seeding done.
