Your Community

For humans, corridors buffer extreme weather, store carbon & reconnect us with nature in our own backyards. Corridors that weave through neighbourhoods and link them to the environment are vital for fostering a sense of harmony between people and nature. These pathways provide more than just physical connections, they create opportunities for recreation, education, and conservation, while promoting healthier lifestyles & stronger community bonds.

Cooling Suburbia

It’s important for communities to find ways to cool down & create sustainable, livable spaces. Hot suburbs, often caused by excessive use of dark surfaces and limited greenery, trap heat and drive up energy usage, leading to higher costs for residents & a greater strain on the environment. By incorporating lighter, reflective materials and planting trees & vegetation, communities can reduce the urban heat island effect, lower temperatures & cut energy consumption.

Wildlife Habitat

As climate change reshapes habitats & urban sprawl fragments ecosystems, green pathways offer species a chance to adapt, migrate & survive. Corridors create continuity, not just for wildlife, but for cultural & environmental resilience. Restoring these connections now, lays the groundwork for healthier landscapes, stronger communities & a future where biodiversity isn’t just preserved, it thrives alongside us. Wildlife corridors are more than ecological fixes, they’re investments in a livable future.

Reusing Water at Home

Greywater, the lightly used water from showers, sinks, and laundry, offers an eco-friendly way to conserve water, save money, and support the environment. By reusing greywater for tasks like garden irrigation, households can reduce fresh water consumption and enrich soil health with its natural nutrients. This practice also eases strain on local water supplies and wastewater systems. To start, identify sources of greywater in your home and install a basic or advanced greywater system to redirect this resource safely. Select drought-tolerant plants for irrigation, and maintain the system with proper filtration and eco-friendly products.

Coming Together to Green Up Neighbourhoods & Cities

Coming Together to Green Up Urban & City

As concerns about the environment grow, Australians have been showing an impressive dedication to greening up their neighbourhoods and cities. From community gardens to tree-planting initiatives, citizens are taking the power of their communities into their own hands. In some cities, the government has even gotten involved in the efforts, providing funding and resources to support the movement. The impact of these efforts goes beyond just aesthetics and environmentalism. They help to bring communities together, building a sense of pride and ownership in their neighbourhoods.

Gardening for Kangaroo Country

Are you tired of constantly battling with kangaroos in your garden? Well, fear not, as there are certain plants that they won't munch on. If you want to protect your garden, you should consider growing plants like lavender, rosemary, bottlebrush, and eucalyptus. These plants have a strong aroma that is unappealing to kangaroos. However, if you want to attract these bouncing animals, try planting grass, clover, and native bushes. These are some of their favorite foods, and you might find them hopping into your garden for a quick snack. With the right mix of plants, you can keep your garden looking beautiful and avoid having it turn into a kangaroo buffet.

The Delicious Finger Lime Tree

Finger limes are a unique and exciting addition to any garden verge. These small fruits are packed with flavour and can be used in a variety of dishes, from salads to cocktails. Not only are finger limes tasty, but they also bring a splash of colour to your garden with their vibrant green and yellow hues. Growing finger limes on your garden verge is a great way to promote biodiversity in the area and support local wildlife, as these fruits are a favourite among birds and other animals. Plus, they're incredibly easy to grow and require very little maintenance. So why not add a little zest to your garden verge with some finger limes?
