The Bjarne K Dahl Trust is now operating as Eucalypt Australia. A not for profit discretionary Charitable Trust dedicated to promoting Australia's eucalypts through conservation, education or research.
The Trust was established from a bequest by Bjarne Klaus Dahl, a Norwegian Forester working and living in Victoria, Australia. Bjarne developed a true affinity with the Australian bush, and a particular love for Silvertop Ash, Eucalyptus sieberi, and left his entire estate to establish the Trust.
