For over 20 years, Greenweb has helped property owners care for native habitats on their land by doing restoration works, removing weeds, and planting natives to conserve key habitat areas and wildlife corridors
The program aims to preserve bush habitats for the benefit of native flora and fauna. Schools are welcome to join in.
The program offers:
- free garden consultations
- educational talks
- planting days and bush regeneration
- financial assistance for eligible property owners and schools.
