The Connected Communities Program managed by Conservation Volunteers Australia (CVA) with Boral’s support assists schools and communities educate and inspire young Australians to take action for the future of their environment.
Boral Ltd has been a supporter of Conservation Volunteers Australia (CVA) just shy of 30 years and has supported this program since 2012.
The aim of the project is to improve the natural habitat for native flora and fauna.
Projects may include creating a native bush foods garden; demonstrating to children how to monitor frog populations in the school yard; or cleaning up a creek line adjacent to the school.
“Developing school based biodiversity classrooms, or other local community projects is a great way of supporting schools and our communities to create an ongoing asset which will help to educate and inspire young Australians,” said Colin Jackson, pervious CEO Conservation Volunteers Australia.
In 2017 the schools receiving assistance through Boral are located across every state and territory.
Local parks and reserves will also benefit from the support of the Connected Communities Program.
