Connecting Corridors is powered by community - and strengthened by the organisations, businesses, and individuals who choose to invest in our shared environment. When you sponsor our work, you’re supporting practical, local action that protects Dawesville’s wildlife, habitats, and community spaces.

Whether you’re a business wanting to give back, a school exploring environmental learning, a student with a passion for nature, or an organisation interested in community-led restoration, there’s a place for you here.

Why Sponsor Connecting Corridors?

Your support helps us deliver real, visible outcomes across Dawesville:

• restoring wildlife corridors
• supporting citizen-science projects
• running community events and education
• equipping volunteers with safe, reliable tools
• building partnerships with schools and local groups
  
• strengthening environmental identity and pride
  

Every contribution, big or small, helps us protect the place we all love.

The Mobile Workshop (Future Mobile Discovery Centre)

Help us build a fully equipped mobile workshop that brings environmental education, citizen science, and hands-on activities directly into neighbourhoods, schools, and community events.

Your support can help fund:

• fit-out and equipment
• signage and branding
• portable displays and learning tools
• safety gear and storage
• mobile citizen-science kits

This is a high-impact, high-visibility project that will serve the whole region.

The Dawesville Discovery Centre (Pre-Launch Support)

We’re building the foundations of a future Discovery Centre — a welcoming, community-powered hub for learning, creativity, and environmental action.

Sponsors can help us:

• develop displays and interactive exhibits
• create educational resources
• purchase microscopes, sensors, and field equipment
• support school programs and workshops
• build the identity and momentum needed for full funding

Your investment helps turn a community dream into a real, lasting asset.
