Whether you want to regenerate productive land, create a beautiful place to live and work, or provide homes for local wildlife, revegetation is as important as ever and something we can all contribute to.

You can grow your own plants, or we’ll assign one of our volunteer to grow your order.

National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) provided guidance with trail design and construction, plus feedback and design of the interpretive signs. Local community members assisted with trail definition, installation of interpretive signs, and a number of tables and seats.

For more information contact National Parks and Wildlife Manager, Flinders, and Outback Tony Magor. Read the full article on this great initiative at The Weekly.

Like most cities, Adelaide’s nature is under pressure due to factors such as urban densification, climate change and loss of natural habitat. Fortunately, we can all do something about it. Many of us already are.

Green Adelaide is a new, government organisation that is charged with leading this cooler, greener and wilder transformation, and we invite your participation.

We have seven priorities that will guide our work, and our draft five year Regional Landscape Plan outlines how, together, we can bring our vision to life.

We are about partnering, funding and supporting aligned organisations and communities, as well as delivering on-ground iconic projects to establish Adelaide as Australia’s first ‘National Park City’.

We invite your feedback on our draft plan

Please visit yoursay.sa.gov.au/green-adelaide-plan for further information and to find out about opportunities to provide your input.

Your feedback will refine Green Adelaide’s final five year plan, and also inform the development of Green Adelaide’s 2021-2022 annual business plan of practical projects and programs.

Feedback closes at 5pm on Tuesday 20 April 2021.

We warmly welcome our partners and all Adelaidians to join us on this journey to create a cooler, greener, wilder and climate-resilient Adelaide to live, work, visit, enjoy and love.

from The Weeky 28 January

This week, our state was confronted with another summer bushfire. With last year’s bushfires still fresh in our minds, the Cherry Gardens bushfire made us hold a collective breath.

Thankfully, the fires were controlled with a huge effort from emergency services and volunteers, as well as much needed heavy rain. No lives were lost in these fires, though some homes and buildings were destroyed as well as around 3,000 hectares of scrub and grassland, critical habitat for our precious wildlife.

As with the Kangaroo Island bushfires, a planned and methodical environmental restoration at a landscape-scale will be required to give our native species a chance to survive and thrive again.

And you can help. The Wildlife Recovery Fund was established as a partnership between National Parks and Wildlife Service and Nature Foundation SA to directly fund local landholders, Landcare, Friends and community groups in fire affected regions to undertake native plantings, feral animal and weed control, and fencing – this will give both threatened animal and plant life the best chance of recovery.
