Queanbeyan Microforest

A community initiative to build a Micro-Forest, food forest and nature play area in suburban Queanbeyan in 2022-23. Successfully raised over $38,000 during our crowdfunding campaign, utilising our capabilities in partnership building, business development, marketing, negotiation, and event management. This funding has enabled us to enter the community consultation and co-design phase before construction begins in Spring 2023. This community-led micro-forest project aims to reduce urban heat and provide habitat for native wildlife, while also creating a beautiful and inviting green space for locals to meet, play, and relax. As the first of its kind in Queanbeyan, we aim to not only positively impact the environment but also have positive social outcomes for our community. Through inclusive engagement and design, we hope to inspire others to follow in our footsteps and create similar projects that prioritise the well-being of local stakeholders, the environment as well as the local economy.
