Urban Nature Stewards: Living cooler, greener and wilder for nature

Join us and become an Urban Nature Steward by learning how to support and care for nature at home, and across your urban environment.

Our cities and urban places have become important habitat for many of our Australian native species. There are things we can all do to live more harmoniously with local species and enrich our lives at the same time.

Supported by The City of Adelaide, this four-week course will connect you with people in your local area and communities, share environmental concepts and techniques that are relevant to our urban context, inspire and empower you with environmental knowledge, and motivate you to try new things and set goals with urban nature in mind.

• Making wilder urban places
