What we do at The Arb:
SEED
We start small and at the beginning – with seed. Climate and nature based solutions won't work without it! Our seedbank provides genetically healthy seed with great diversity of species and supplies 1/3 of all the seed in the state. Seed is available via orders for direct seeding or for nurseries.
LANDSCAPE RESTORATION
We provide site visits for a fee to support you in your property restoration. We can supply a skilled bush crew to assist in landscape restoration.
PLANTS
We turn some of that seed into plants. Our nursery produces plants of high quality – representing many of the plant species found in the Goulburn Broken catchment. We supply plants via orders or through retail sales.
EDUCATION & COMMUNITY
Nature-based early childhood education teaches young children to care for and interact with the natural environment. Volunteers work in a truly beautiful environment, help us care for the bush, and have the chance to learn new skills, and connect to other wonderful people who have a passion for local native plants, animals and ecological restoration.
