EXCITING OPPORTUNITY!

Urban greening is increasingly being adopted around the world to improve resilience to environmental challenges in rapidly changing urban areas. This strategy aims to enhance the quality of life in cities by mitigating pollution, reducing heat, promoting biodiversity, improving air and water quality and providing spaces for recreation and relaxation.

Now, UTAS, together with the Brighton Council and the TGTA, invite teachers from all schools in Southern Tasmania to share their views on the role of school-based urban greening. The ideas and thoughts raised in this focus group will inform classroom resource creation and build partnerships with local government.
