I started Connecting Corridors because I couldn't ignore the growing fragmentation of our green spaces, patches of bushland & coastal habitat that once flowed together now sit isolated, like islands in a sea of development. This disconnection doesn’t just affect wildlife, which struggles to move, breed, and thrive, it affects communities too. When nature is boxed in, so are we. I wanted to create something that rethreads the landscape, stitching together ecological integrity with social resilience. Connecting Corridors is about restoring pathways, for wallabies and echidnas, yes, but also for people to reconnect with place, with each other & with the deeper story of stewardship we all share.

Community

We connect corridors by working at both the ecological and human scale. On the ground, that means planting native vegetation, restoring degraded habitats & creating wildlife-friendly pathways that allow species to move safely between bushland, wetlands & coastal zones. But just as vital is the social stitching: we collaborate with landholders, councils & community groups to align efforts across boundaries, weaving together local knowledge, policy frameworks & shared stewardship. Whether it's a backyard verge, a school garden, or a regional reserve, every green patch becomes part of a living network—one that supports biodiversity, buffers climate impacts, and strengthens the ties between people and place.

Environment

Connecting corridors for the environment is important to us because we believe healthy ecosystems are the foundation of a thriving future—for wildlife, for people, and for the places we call home. When habitats are fragmented, species lose their lifelines & the land loses its ability to regenerate, adapt, and support life. We see corridor restoration not just as conservation, but as an act of care and responsibility—restitching the fabric of country so that native species can move freely, waterways can flow cleanly & communities can live in deeper harmony with nature. It's about restoring balance, protecting what's precious, and leaving a legacy of resilience and connection for generations to come.

Wildlife

Connecting corridors for terrestrial & marine wildlife is important to us because these ecosystems are deeply interwoven, even when they seem worlds apart. From the forest floor to the ocean reef, species rely on safe passage, healthy habitat & seasonal movement to survive and thrive. When we restore corridors, whether it's a bandicoot crossing through bushland or a fish nursery linked to a seagrass meadow, we're protecting the invisible lifelines that sustain biodiversity. It's about honouring the full arc of life: the echidna that follows scent trails through leaf litter, the shorebird that nests between tides, the dolphin that hunts where freshwater meets the sea. By reconnecting these pathways, we're safeguarding not just individual species, but the intricate dance of life that binds land, water & community together.
