It all began with a simple idea, help communities reconnect with their environment in ways that are practical, respectful, and lasting. We started as Green Corridors, driven by a shared vision to restore local ecosystems and support biodiversity through hands-on stewardship.

Why We Changed Direction

It didn't take long to realise that good intentions alone weren't enough. The amount of red tape required to get anything meaningful done was staggering, slowing progress and diluting impact. So we made a strategic shift.

We changed our name to Connecting Corridors, incorporated ourselves, and registered as a charitable organisation. This gave us the structure and legitimacy we needed to move forward with clarity and purpose.

What We've Been Doing

Since then, we've been on a mission to show communities a better way to live with their environment—not against it. Through practical advice, local engagement, and shared action, we've helped people see that stewardship isn't just about planting trees, it's about building relationships with place.

• Supporting other volunteer groups with tree planting, shrub planting, and rubbish pickups
• Leading our own tree planting initiatives, prioritising canopy growth before expanding into other areas
• Producing our Living With Wildlife brochure to promote coexistence and awareness
• Conditioning soil, restoring a local reserve, and creating spaces that support both people and biodiversity
• Sharing tips, tools, and strategies for communities to take ownership of their local environments

Why Trees Came First

We've always believed that trees come first, not just symbolically, but practically. They need time to grow, to anchor the land, and to create the conditions for everything else to follow. While they've been establishing themselves, we've focused on the other facets that make up a thriving community: education, engagement & ecological resilience.

What Connecting Corridors Stands For

Connecting Corridors is more than a name—it's a philosophy. It's about bridging gaps between people, place & policy. It's about creating pathways for stewardship that are inclusive, adaptive & grounded in care.
