Our 3 Year Partnership with Greening Australia

Through Greening Australia’s ‘Nature in Cities’ program, our three-year partnership will help them restore natural ecosystems by establishing 25,000 native trees, shrubs, and wildflowers across major Australian cities. These biodiverse native plantings will help increase habitat for wildlife, engage community members and build green corridors to create greener, more liveable cities where people and nature can thrive.

2023 Impacts

In 2023, the second year of our partnership, we supported the expansion of Greening Australia’s Nature in Cities program in Brisbane, to reconnect people with nature.

PROJECT ONE: LOCKYER VALLEY, SOUTHEAST QUEENSLAND

With funding from Nature’s Own, Greening Australia was able to Improve the health and resilience of Southeast Queensland’s catchments, rivers, and Moreton Bay, by:

  • Establishing 3,150 plants with the assistance of Wirrinyah BSU / Yuggera First Nations team
  • Reconnecting people with nature through the community planting event
  • Establishing a further 2,000 plants in February/March 2024
  • Restoring 3.0 hectares of land
This project was a key priority for the Resilient Rivers Initiative strategy, due to its upstream location and ability to reduce sediment impacts on South-East Queensland’s water supply, ports, waterways, and Moreton Bay.

PROJECT TWO: ARCHERFIELD WETLANDS, SOUTHEAST QUEENSLAND

Nature’s Own funding has been used to further expand Greening Australia’s presence within the Brisbane City Council, restoring degraded areas of the Archerfield Wetlands Parkland, which is one of Brisbane’s largest floodplain ecosystems. These efforts have contributed to:

  • The establishment of 4,000 plants with the assistance of YUP Rangers / Yuggera Ugarapul First Nations team
  • The establishment of a further 400 plants with assistance from the Oxley Creek Catchment Group
  • The restoration of 1.5 hectares of land
This project will improve biodiversity, provide shade canopy, and support the creation of a nature-based recreation parkland for urban residents, while benefiting the Oxley catchment area and the Brisbane River.
