Give back

As our Principal Partner, Green Adelaide is seeding the Nature Festival to help create a cooler, greener and wilder metropolitan South Australia.

Green Adelaide has a strong focus on helping to restore natural ecosystems in the midst of urban sprawl, connecting people with nature, and building climate resilience – all of which supports Adelaide’s status as the world's second National Park City.

This year Green Adelaide invites Nature Festival attendees to find ways to give back. Explore the events below for a range of opportunities to roll up your sleeves and help out.
