Environment Events in Canberra

Join us at our autumn planting day and help extend our new microforest at the Canberra City Farm. Last spring we planted 480 native plants, now established and putting on a burst of growth after the recent rain. The work continues with more planting and the sowing of thousands of seeds for a wildflower meadow. You will be rewarded with convivial conversation, fun outdoor activity and a home-made wood-fired pizza afterwards. Looking at the big picture, you’ll be taking local positive action to address climate challenges. The microforest project demonstrates climate resilient landscaping with berms, mounds, swales, a pond, and a rainwater tank and will improve biodiversity and provide shade and habitat for the lovely critters who hang out at the Farm. Thanks to funding by a Nature in the City: Cooling Your Suburb, ACT Government Grant.
