Courses and events

We have a range of courses and events throughout the year to help you learn and share new nature skills, meet like-minded people and have a lot of fun. From professional development for educators to training for volunteers, activities for families and seminars to learn more about what we do.

Professional development for educators

Seminar series: Towards Cooler, Greener, Wilder

Our monthly online seminar series gives you a chance to hear about our key projects to cool, green and wild metropolitan Adelaide. There are great discussions on the approaches to our work too, like biodiversity-sensitive urban design (BSUD), water-sensitive urban design (WSUD) and the Urban Greening Strategy. You can learn a lot, ask questions and find out how you can help.

Tune into the next event below and listen back to past talks from our seminar series on YouTube.

Diving into blue carbon

Thursday 24 October, 4pm to 5pm (online)

Dr Sophie Russell and Dr Emily Leyden will explain how coastal environments efficiently capture and store carbon, making them key players in global climate mitigation efforts.
