Green spaces in unusual places

Ever wanted to build a bee hotel or design an urban forest?! Drop in to an activity or climate conversation or simply to say hello and learn about some cool local climate responses happening across Greater Melbourne.   

Regen Melbourne in partnership with University of Melbourne, Tiare Murphy, have recently been granted The Youth Climate Grant by The City of Melbourne to develop the project: 'Green Spaces in Unusual Places'.

It is both an initiative to promote green space in urban environments and a community space to conduct climate conversations.The pop-up site will be at Signal, Flinders Walk, Northbank, along the banks of the Birrarung Yarra River on the 3rd- 5th of October.

Each day will take on a different theme to centre the climate conversations with day one being 'health and climate' and day two being 'urban heat' - drop on by for a series of activities, experiences and great conversations!
