Nature’s Own partnered with Greening Australia to help restore urban ecosystems across the country. Driven by a shared commitment to sustainability and community wellbeing, the three-year partnership (2021–2024) focused on regreening cities and reconnecting people with nature.

Through Greening Australia’s Nature in Cities program, support from Nature’s Own made it possible to plant 29,350 native trees, shrubs, and wildflowers across key urban landscapes in Queensland, New South Wales, and South Australia — creating greener, healthier spaces for communities to thrive.

This three-year partnership truly demonstrates how shared values and collaborative efforts can lead to lasting environmental and community benefits, helping nature thrive while enriching people’s lives. Take a look at what we achieved together here!

The partnership directly supported plantings across Brisbane, Sydney, and Adelaide, delivered in collaboration with First Nations teams, local councils, communities, and volunteers. And as part of our commitment to connecting people with nature through the Nature in Cities program, both planting sites in Brisbane and Sydney are open to the public. This means community members who participated in planting days can revisit the sites, and local residents can enjoy the long-term benefits of these restored landscapes.

Here’s a closer look at the restoration sites and community planting events across four locations in Australia, each brought to life through the incredible support of our delivery partners and local communities.

As part of our ongoing mission to restore landscapes and reconnect people with the environment, we’ve planted 14,400 native trees, shrubs, and grasses to boost biodiversity and create habitat for more than 170 bird species. This vibrant green space is now a haven for wildlife and a welcoming place for people to gather, reflect, and connect. 25 people took part in the community planting event, alongside our incredible delivery partners: Brisbane Sustainability Agency, Oxley Creek Catchment Association, Bushcare Services, and the YUP Rangers / Yuggera Ugarapul First Nations Team.

Another restoration site in the Queensland region was located in the Lockyer Valley. A total of 5,150 native trees were established throughout the area, helping to regenerate habitat, support biodiversity, and create a healthier landscape for both wildlife and people.

To celebrate and support the project, we hosted a community planting event, where over 40 enthusiastic volunteers came together to connect with nature and each other. It was a day filled with energy, purpose, and a shared commitment to a more sustainable future. Take a peek at the event here!

This work wouldn’t have been possible without the support of our incredible delivery partners: Lockyer Valley Regional Council, Council of Mayors / Resilient Rivers, Wirrinyah Conservation Services / Yuggera First Nations Team, and Amazon.

In Sydney, our partnership with Nature’s Own introduced an exciting innovation: the planting of 1,800 native grasses and wildflowers using a micro meadow design, delivered in collaboration with Camden Council. This site not only creates a lasting legacy but has also sparked interest from local councils and corporate partners eager to replicate the model.

In Adelaide, the restoration project funded by Nature’s Own has helped create habitat connectivity for native flora and fauna, improved water quality along the catchment, and strengthened community connections with nature. A total of 7,800 trees were planted, with over 130 attendees participating across two community planting events held at the site.

Delivery partners included Crown Lands – Department for Environment and Water, RAW Group / First Nations Planting Team, National Parks and Wildlife Service SA, Green Adelaide, and the City of Marion.

The project within the Field River Catchment has also opened up new opportunities beyond the initial plantings. Following the site’s official proclamation by National Parks and Wildlife Service SA in late 2024, an additional 9 km of riparian corridor habitat is now being restored across 11 priority sites.

A new three-year project is now underway, building on this momentum in partnership with Green Adelaide, the City of Marion, and the Department for Environment and Water. This initiative is set to deliver long-term ecological benefits while creating meaningful opportunities for community involvement in these public spaces.
