Our current main focus is the Melbourne Pollinator Corridor (MPC), an 8km community-driven wildlife corridor that will link 2 large green patches that run along the Birrarung (Yarra River), Westgate Park and the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne.

(in the map below the green lines is the MPC zone, the yellow circles are gardens already created and the blue circles are sites about to be MPC gardens)

The MPC will focus on native bees and other native pollinating insects, the aim being 18,000 indigenous plants in 200 gardens by the end of 2024.

(below are some of the critters we have found in the MPC gardens so far)

The MPC has been designed within local council constraints and with over 20 scientists and specialists. So far, we have turned over 480 square metres of barren public land into gardens filled with critters and beauty.

(below are some of the MPC gardens that have been created by THGP and keen locals working together)

To our knowledge this is the first wildlife corridor like this in Australia (and possibly the world) so not only are we creating a project that will strengthen local flora and fauna and help everyone in our community (big and small, from all cultures and socio-economic backgrounds) but we are also creating a precedent.

(below are pics of our wonderful MPC community)

With our community working with science and our amazing partners and sponsors, we are hoping to grow and learn so that we may help and support others to create positive change to help our gorgeous native insect pollinators!

The MPC is using street gardening to connect humans with humans, humans with nature and nature to nature. These are exciting times and we would love to have you on board!
