Thanks a million Adelaide... no make that 2!
A big thank you to all of the volunteers braving this winter's weather to help reinstate local native plants aroudn Adelaide with the Million Trees Program.
Next year is the International Year of Forests and we want to make our Urban Forest events bigger and better! They will range from World Environment Day in June through to National Tree Day in August. They all vary in location and size, and offer a wide range of activities for the family. From dog-friendly sites to BBQs and site tours, there is definitely something for everyone! Watch out soon for 2011 Million Trees Events Calendar for dates and start organising a group to help out at a site near you.
Conserving Adelaide's Biodiversity
Welcome to the Urban Forest Biodiversity Program website! You’ll find lots of information about Adelaide's biodiversity and the Urban Forest Biodiversity Program. You'll also find heaps of resources on Backyards for Wildlife and how to create your own wildlife-friendly garden using local native plants. Check out Latest News for other ways that you can get involved in conserving and restoring biodiversity.
The Urban Forest Biodiversity Program supports the vision that Adelaide is recognised as a clean, green city leading in ecological sustainability. Unfortunately, habitat destruction and fragmentation has caused significant biodiversity loss, with many local native species under threat. That’s why biodiversity conservation and management is so crucial to protect and restore a healthy, sustainable local environment for
current and future generations... and you can help!
Take some time to look around our website and learn about Adelaide’s biodiversity, find out which local native plants grow in your suburb, and help us to conserve our wonderful and unique local environment by getting involved in some important biodiversity conservation projects happening across Adelaide.
This website has been developed with support from the Adelaide and Mount Lofty Ranges Natural Resources Management Board and the Australian Government.
