Green Corps
The highly successful Green Corps team behind the ‘Greening the City at Centennial Parklands’ project graduated on 31 July 2008.
The Foundation, in partnership with Greening Australia, supported the Green Corps team to complete a variety of projects including the removal of European Carp from our ponds and restocking with native Bass. Busbys Pond was also improved through the removal of weed and replacement with native plant species. The team undertook tree planting in Queens Park and plant propagation in the Parklands’ community nursery facility.
An exciting addition to the graduation was a wonderful photo exhibition by aspiring photographer and team member Ben Chapman, showcasing the team’s journey over the six month project.
Green Corps, Young Australians for the Environment, is an Australian Government program offering young people the opportunity to be paid while receiving accredited training working on six month environment and heritage projects.
The Green Corps program will run again in 2009. For more details visit the Green Corps website.
