“Nature Blocks really supports people because it’s about getting out and connecting with something in your local area. With climate distress, a lot of the time what you’re suffering with is a sense of overwhelm, powerlessness, and a disconnection from nature. Nature Blocks gives people a chance to get out of their house and connect with something real and helps them feel like they’re doing something.”

Reconnect with nature
Restore Australian native species
Build back biodiversity
We see a future of thousands of Nature Blocks popping up across Australia that together form the foundation of a wildlife restoration project for Australian biodiversity.
We’re inviting everyone — yes, that means you! — to join the movement, whether you have a sprawling backyard or a cosy balcony.
Imagine if everyone in Australia created a Nature Block, we’d see a revitalised and thriving environment of Australian native plants and animals.

As a health and care company, we know the link between the health of the planet and the health of people is undeniable. And that we all have a role to play in protecting and regenerating nature, particularly in cities. Nature Blocks works well with our Healthy Cities program. By planting more trees, more plants, we create a healthier environment for better opportunities for mental and physical health

The CVA Community Hub app was very easy to use. It’s super simple and I was also impressed there was clear information for someone with a balcony, because I don’t have a big garden, so I appreciated that. It was also a relief because there was information on starting a very small Nature Block. So, I can start basic – with just one plant.
