The RSPCA's project is a good example of how local initiatives can provide multiple on-ground benefits for our wildlife, biodiversity and community.
The grants demonstrate the ripple effect of funding community led projects to deliver metropolitan South Australian environmental outcomes.
I am pleased to see the diversity in projects awarded in 2023 and look forward to seeing them come to life.
As put by Brenton Grear, Director, Green Adelaide
Successful projects include building on past success stories to scale up projects for a bigger impact, as well as investing in new innovative initiatives, like holistic bush care efforts and building nature connection through arts.
This includes delivering 600 metres of coastline weeding, as well as planting more than 6,000 native seedlings in partnership with SA Water and City of West Torrens Council.
The Grassroots Grants continue to support individuals and community groups in making a difference for our local environment in practical ways.
