Courses and events
We have a range of courses and events throughout the year to help you learn new nature skills, meet like-minded people and have a lot of fun.
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.
Coming up next:
Bringing platypus back
Wed 21 August, 4pm to 5pm (online)
Green Adelaide is embarking on a bold rewilding project to bring platypus back to Karrawirra Pari/The River Torrens. This iconic Australian animal serves as an umbrella species – conserving them and their habitat will benefit a multitude of other species in the ecosystem.
Hear from Wildlife Ecologist Liberty Olds, who will delve into the fascinating world of the platypus and the promising steps being taken to reintroduce them to Adelaide's rivers.
