We work with the community on a number of practical projects to address climate change. These include projects like Birdscaping Canberra and ‘What do we want Canberra to look and feel like in 2030?’
Working with volunteers, SEE-Change planted 2000 native trees, shrubs, ground covers, grasses and daisies on public space in O’Connor. This project will provide habitat for endangered small birds at risk from habitat loss and will help cool the landscape.
We can provide advice on how to make projects like this happen in your local area - contact us.
The project was funded through an Environment ACT Grant
One way to cope with a hotter drier climate is to create cool outdoor spaces adjacent to your home. Check out this resource by the Climate Factory on 7 Steps to Create a Cool Haven in your garden.
Planting trees and shrubs helps cool our suburbs and absorb carbon. There are many ways you can get involved in planting or propagating trees in Canberra.

The HCC is a curb-side collection and composting service. HCC takes your kitchen scraps and turns them into valuable soil amendment, avoiding the generation of methane in landfill.
We have initiated a new series of workshops called Canberra 2030 Vision. We are creating a vision of what we want our city to look & feel like in 2030, and exploring practical actions we can take to achieve that vision. Our aim is to refine the content of these workshops so they are meaningful and result in not just talking but action.
Check out our events tab for details on the next workshop.
