Our aim is to educate residents as to the beauty and environmental value of our plants and wildlife and to the ways that nature can enrich their lives.
We will actively support and encourage residents and businesses to implement practical strategies to encourage biodiversity; especially, to plant locally indigenous flora to support our local fauna.
We also hope to collaborate with local government to increase their awareness of the importance of biodiversity within the lands that they manage and to implement management practices that protect and enhance biodiversity.

We need all sectors of our communities to recognise biodiversity loss as both a serious and pressing issue. Businesses can assist residents and government by ensuring that the potential biodiversity of their lands are realised.
To recognise this potential, it is as simple as returning local native plants – in numbers and diversity – to establish the base of an ecology. Diversity of local native plants should be measured by both a diversity of local native plant species and a variety of plant forms [trees, shrubs, ground covers, vines, herbs]. In many cases this will be simply planting tube stock. In others, replacing exotic plants and lawn.
Local native plants have evolved in unison with local native insects – both plants and ‘bugs’ are good measures for a re-establishing ecology.
