If you are a like-minded person who believes that we can change cities from environmental villains into living models of sustainable development, there are various ways you can be part of making it happen.
The more support we receive, the more we can do.

Why?
Urban Ecology Australia has initiated ecocity projects such as Christie Walk, which is showing members of the public, the construction industry, and government and professional bodies how we can transform our cities into thriving, dynamic and self-sustaining places to be.
We are educating communities locally, nationally and internationally through a combination of educational programmes, a library and bookshop, fortnightly site tours of Christie Walk, workshops, public events and our international internship programme (which has attracted over 20 people from various countries over the years, and is becoming more popular each year).
We act in an advisory capacity to different levels of government (as an organisation and through its membership) for a range of ecological issues relating to cities (eg. Environment Australia's National Building Environmental Rating Scheme, the Australian Greenhouse Office's Your Home Technical Manual, Environment Australia's Steering Group for their Air Toxics Programme, Deputy Chair for Adelaide City Council's Local Agenda 21 Environmental Management Plan to name a few).
