About Us

Daniel Oxenburgh of Wildly Important Eco Programs with the 2008 Western Australian Environment Award.

First and foremost, our philosophy at Wildly Important is passion for helping our struggling environment while helping business at the same time.

Wildly Important is a business and this is the way we earn our living, but we do this because we want to plants trees, revegetate, re-create eco systems and save our native wildlife.

Wildly Important offers a selection of Eco-Programs for businesses and organizations - innovative and easy to implement 'multi-environmental benefit' programs to incorporate in to their business activities.

Participating businesses can promote themselves as leaders in environmental good pratice and their customers can be confident that supporting them results in a whole bunch of positive things happening in our environment!

As we believe in the uniqueness of our bio-diversity, we recommend a program involving growing and planting native trees along with the adoption of native mammals, birds and reptiles.

The business which has evolved to be Wildly Important Eco Programs was established as an outgrowth of an annual tree planting exercise called the Beat-A-Bug Re-Tree Project.

The Beat-A-Bug Re-Tree Project was instigated by Daniel Oxenburgh, of Beat-A-Bug in 2004 as a way of giving native trees back to the environment on an annual basis.

By September 2008 the Beat-A-Bug Re-Tree Project had   planted over 23,250 native trees on 7 different salt effected and degraded sites in the state.

In November 2006 Beat-A-Bug furthered its commitment to the environment by establishing its own 50,000 seedling capable native tree nursery – and establishing a new business venture called Wildly Important Eco Programs.

The idea behind this was that other companies or small businesses may wish to implement a similar tree planting program but not have the time or resources available to conduct such a planting.

The Wildly Important Eco-Programs were developed with this in mind so that a tree planting could be facilitated from a very small micro-business to a major company. 

Further, a native animal sponsorship is included in some programs as a pro-rata donation from the tree planting event – so both native fauna and flora are benefited.

By the end of 2008 Wildly Important has grown and planted nearly 25,000 trees and facilitated the adoption of over 50 native animals. These include plantings for National Lifestyle Villages, HBF, Leda Swan Organic Winery and the Birchman Group. Further plantings totaling nearly 20,000 trees are already planned for 2009 with more to come!

In October 2008 Wildly Important Eco Programs and Beat-A-Bug Garden Products won the Western Australian Environment Awards “Small Business Leading By Example” category.
