What better way to celebrate Biodiversity Month than by planting another forest in Ipswich!

A huge thank you to the 58 volunteers who took part in our annual ex-TREE-vaganza event at Gladstone Road Reserve last Saturday.

As part of the event, we planted 1,510 seedlings, vcontributing to our goal to plant over 5,000 native seedlings across Ipswich this year.

We started the day with a Welcome to Country from Uncle Henry and Tiger from the Yugara Dancers, who also led the team in a warm up of 'Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes' in Language! After a lovely morning of planting, attendees were then treated to an amazing wildlife show by the team from Wildlife Unleashed - where we met Rambo the red-tailed black cockatoo andSunny the albino carpet python,amongst other snakes, crocs, lizards!, A free BBQ lunch was also provided by the Lions Club of Ipswich/Redbank/Goodna to celebrate our hard work.

An extra special thank you to our local project partner Ipswich City Council, who helped make the day an unbe-LEAF-able success, Councillor Jim Madden for joining us, and to Chevron Australia for supporting the project!

Want to help these seedlings survive the toasty summer months? We’ll be hosting two maintenance days in the coming months where we'll be watering in these seedlings, and we’d love to see you there.

Neat isn't the same as healthy. A tidy garden can be a biodiversity desert, while a "messy" one buzzes with life.

Nature Blocks are small spaces, anywhere, dedicated to helping native wildlife come back. You don't need acres. One native shrub, one water dish, one wild corner is enough to start.

We celebrated NAIDOC with a women's weaving workshop led by First Nations artist Lee George (), a proud Wulgurukaba woman from Yunbenun Country. 🧡

14 women came together to learn traditional weaving and create their own hand-woven jewellery, swapping stories, encouragement and new skills along the way.

"Fun, insightful, bonding experience in traditional crafting amongst women of all ages! Looking forward to more engaging activities in safe spaces for women." – Sharain

"I really enjoyed connecting with people and learning new things and getting out of my comfort zone." – Scarlet

Huge thanks to for sharing her knowledge, art and culture with us, and to Mackay Women's Services for hosting and helping create such a welcoming space. 🙏

What a Saturday! 🦜💛

Thank you to everyone who came out to the Glossy Festival and spent the day with us celebrating the Glossy Black-Cockatoo. We're still buzzing from all the energy, curiosity, and genuine love for this incredible bird.

From the calling competition to the Glossy Explorer walk, every moment was a reminder of how much this community cares about protecting our wildlife. Huge thanks to everyone who joined, played, learned, and helped make the day so special.

Here's to more days like this, together. 🌿

This Dementia Action Week (21-27 September), we're standing with Dementia Australia: it's time to talk about dementia. 🧠💚

At CVA, our Nature Hub program in Tasmania shows what that looks like in practice: dementia-inclusive outdoor experiences that keep people connected to nature, to community, and to themselves.

An estimated 446,500 Australians are living with dementia in 2026 (Dementia Australia). Chances are, someone in your life is one of them. Starting the conversation is one of the simplest, most powerful things we can do.

What a way to wrap up our Urban Shade Forest planting season in South Australia, with 2,000 seedlings planted in one day!

We kicked things off in the morning alongside the amazing crew from Co-Exist Adelaide and students from Lincoln College, including a few volunteers who planted their very first seedlings with us!

The plant-a-palooza continued into the afternoon, where we teamed up with the Adelaide chapters of the Shah Satnam Ji Green S Welfare Committee and the Dawoodi Bohras. Both groups have regularly supported our planting events, with volunteers of all ages coming together to proudly represent their faith through volunteering.

It was a fabulous day of planting, conversations, and bringing together people from different communities – very fitting for a planting event celebrating Biodiversity Month! We’re so grateful to everyone who came along and got stuck in 💚

With the support of Chevron Australia, our amazing volunteers and community groups, and Campbelltown City Council, we’ve now planted and given away more than 15,000 seedlings since May 2026.

If you’re keen to see the site for yourself, you can join us at Athelstone Recreational Reserve on October 8th! We’ll be installing the final protective plant guards on these little seedlings before summer kicks in. Find out more here: https://conservationvolunteers.info/PlantProtectorsSAOct8

Thanks to everyone who’s made the South Australian planting season one to remember!

🌿 Introducing CVA Nature Hub, a dementia-inclusive outdoor program launching at Chigwell Community Garden, Tasmania!

From October 5, we're running weekly sessions for people living with dementia and their carers, with gentle gardening, nature walks, wildlife spotting, planting and creative activities in a small, staff-led group.

Delivered in partnership with Glenorchy City Council and the Venture Out Living Lab at the University of Tasmania, and supported by Primary Health Tasmania through the Australian Government's Primary Health Networks program, the 12-week program is grounded in real research and co-design work.

CVA's General Manager Renae Riviere says it's about creating a space where people feel truly welcome:

"CVA Nature Hub is about creating a calm, supportive and familiar place where people living with dementia and their carers can enjoy time outdoors, connect socially and take part in activities with dignity, choice and purpose." 💚

Volunteers welcome too! Dementia inclusivity training is provided before the program kicks off.

Want to get involved as a participant, carer or volunteer? Reach out to Renae at [email protected] 📩 or find out more via the link in bio.
