Greening Australia - Capital Region
Since its inception Greening Australia has focused on the
importance of social engagement. But it is a focus which has evolved over time.
Once Greening Australia pursued a 3 Es approach - Educate, Enthuse and Empower.
Now it champions the 3Ps - People, Partnerships and Projects. This change - from
creating a climate conducive to greening Australia to actually greening
Australia was developed in the early years of the Natural Heritage Trust.
Greening Australia ACT & SE NSWs primary roles today include:
 | Helping People On The Land - providing fast and friendly technical advice, training and onground assistance to landholders - connecting activities behind the farm gate to the wider world through links to schools, community groups, catchment and regional organisations, businesses and government agencies. |
| Recovering Landscapes- increasing native vegetation cover in the landscape to combat salinity, conserve nature and boost production. Through its cost-effective, fee-for-service direct seeding program, Greening Australia is able to revegetate large areas, organise special field days, provide on-site advice, seed, machinery and operation. |
| Linking Habitat - implementing vegetation plans and following conservation guidelines to fence off and manage vegetation communities, and conserve, buffer and link habitat for birds and other species. |
| Restoring River Health - offering technical advice and assistance to protect native remnant vegetation along waterways, prevent willow invasion and counter the problems of sedimentation caused by bank erosion. |
| Building Conservation Partnerships - forging key partnerships with community, scientific, business and government agencies at local, regional, state and national levels to grow, plant and manage vegetation for multiple benefits. |
