COVID 19 drove us all apart, use this as an opportunity to reconnect with your team and get outdoors. Take time away from the office and enjoy a rewarding day, team building at a community farm, in the heart of Melbourne!

Corporate experiences are a wonderful way for businesses to make a social impact whilst bolstering their reputation within the community, building teams and developing staff skills.

Raising capital will allow Collingwood Children’s Farm to broaden what it has to offer and further invest in capital works that will make the Farm a core green space in the heart of the city. By booking your Corporate Experience session, you will be playing a key role in the ongoing sustainability of Collingwood Children’s Farm’s programs and investing in the future of an organisation that seeks to address issues, such as climate change and building community for those facing adversity.

Bringing your team for a day at Collingwood Children’s Farm makes an enormous difference to the community and benefits volunteers personally.

The Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife's corporate volunteering program is currently focussed on tree nursery sites that form part of our project to plant one million trees in bushfire affected areas of Australia. FNPW has worked with a number of corporate supporters and their employees to deliver positive environmental outcomes that proactively engage corporate teams.

FNPW's Bushfire Recovery Program supports natural restoration and community-managed revegetation projects across Australia. Working in partnership with like-minded organisations and community groups, FNPW supports projects for seed collection and storage, growing plants in nurseries and planting trees in their forever homes.

During FNPW's corporate volunteering day at Yankalilla Community Nursery, you'll swap your screens for gardening gloves!

For all corporate volunteering events, an experienced team leader will be onsite to lead your corporate team, to provide information about the site, including local environmental issues and the biodiversity of the area, to deliver a safety briefing and to provide instructions for the volunteers to carry out their activities.

Our corporate teams come away from their experience with a better understanding of the environment, the importance of conserving our native flora and fauna and with an awareness of how activities at home and at work may affect fragile ecosystems.

During your corporate volunteering day at Yankalilla Community Nursery, you will have the opportunity to work together on activities such as the propagation and maintenance of native trees/plants and seedlings, the collection of native seed and the identification and removal of invasive species from the nursery garden.

The many hands of our volunteer teams are greatly appreciated and we look forward to spending the day with you!

Participants should bring:

• Long sleeves
• Broad brim hat
• Sunblock
• Protective eye wear (sunglasses)
• Rain coats if rain is forecast
• Coffee cup and water bottle
• Sturdy foot wear (boots / joggers / hiking shoes)
• Any additional snacks to get you through the day

Yankalilla Community Nursery will provide:

• Friendly staff to guide you through the day
• Gloves
• Tools
• Toilet facilities
• Water, coffee, tea, biscuits and lunch

As this day is both a team building and environmentally based one, we encourage you all to car pool and, on the day, break up into various groups of people you don’t quite know at your organisation. By the end of the day we hope that you will have just a little bit more of an understanding of our natural environment and your fellow work colleagues.
