Planting stories. Growing country. Connecting futures.

Connecting Corridors is for people who care deeply about place. We protect and restore natural ecosystems, coastal dunes, wetlands, bushland, while building resilient communities that thrive alongside them.

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.

The Environmental Impact of Glitter and Tinsel

As the festive season draws near, there's a sense of excitement and joy that fills the air. It's a time when we bring out our glittering decorations like tinsel and glitter to adorn our homes and spread the festive cheer. However, amid the excitement, it's important to remember the environmental impact of these seemingly harmless decorations. Glitter and tinsel are predominantly made of plastic, which is not biodegradable and poses a serious threat to our environment. But, do not fret, there are still ways to enjoy the festive season while being mindful of our planet. Opt for eco-friendly alternatives like paper decorations or natural materials like pine cones and berries.

Long-Lasting Impacts of Fireworks on Wildlife

As we approach the season of holiday cheer, it's easy to get lost in the excitement of fireworks displays. But, have we ever paused to think about the effect they have on our local wildlife? The truth is, the dazzling shows can have a grave impact on our furry companions, and we have to do better this year. So, as we set our sights on the impending festivities, let's take a moment to consider our actions. With small measures to protect our environment and the creatures that reside within it, we can all make a difference. So, let's make a commitment to celebrate responsibly and sustainably this season, spreading joy and goodwill that extends beyond just us humans.

Paying It Forward!

The Sweet Scent of Spain's Orange Trees

Strolling down the streets of Spain, one can't help but feel uplifted by the sweet scent of oranges lingering in the air. The orange trees that line the pavements are a beautiful sight, providing more than just their pleasant aroma. These trees offer an abundance of oranges that can be used in a variety of ways. From fresh juice to marmalades, the possibilities are endless. What's even more impressive is the environmental benefits that these trees bring, such as reducing air pollution and combatting climate change by absorbing some of the carbon dioxide in the air. The orange trees of Spain are not just a part of the city's landscape, but an integral part of its culture and a symbol of its citizen's commitment to sustainability and the environment.
