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 they invite Nature Festival attendees to find ways to give back. Browse events below for a range of opportunities to roll up your sleeves and help out.
