PHASE 01
Residents within the LGA Sector are made aware of the issue and the ability they have to create change. The idea is to flood information into the community at a large scale, providing a base for practical change to occur. Schools will be the main target, as they provide a concentration of young people that are most likely to stay in the LGA Sector over the coming years and have the most malleable least developed ideas of what suburbia should look like and it’s role in providing resources for insect pollinators. They also affect the wider community as they interact with their parents and start discussions on the topic, outside of the teaching environment. Schools will be the first to begin creating gardens, managed by the students, on display near the front of school grounds, around school entrances and on the verges adjacent to the schools.
