Since 2022 we have been working with communities in Redcliffe, St George, Easton and Barton Hill. Through community organising we have worked collaboratively with these local communities, listening to their values, connecting them with local organisations, organising relevant training, helping with accessing funding, and guiding plans for improving areas for wildlife.
The project has enabled communities to build a greater awareness of, and connection to, nature in their neighbourhood, such as the need for diverse food sources, water and shelter that support our wildlife neighbours.    
The project has had a positive effect on people’s physical and mental wellbeing with 100% either agreed or strongly agreed that their overall happiness has improved.

Team Wilder
All four projects are registered on the Team Wilder Community Map and are networked with the Wider movement. There is a wealth of resources and case studies on the Team Wilder webpage to support their journey beyond the life of the project.  Each project has signs with QR codes to be located in the community that link to their film or case study and include other useful Team Wilder resources to inspire passersby and others in their community. Redcliffe Community Garden and The Beehive have an ecological report with practical actions they can undertake beyond the life of the project.  The TWEAS service will offer additional support with a follow up consultation.
