A forward-thinking group is asking community members to help transform a Queanbeyan block into the region’s newest green space.

The Microforest Collective has established a series of microforests across NSW and the ACT (and further afield) to mitigate urban heat and foster community connections.

Mitch Porteous, co-founder and co-project lead of Queanbeyan’s first foray into microforests, said the next step for the latest project was to form a committee made up of local champions to help “bring it alive”.

Once the seeds are planted, it will mark the organisation’s second microforest in Queanbeyan, following a site within Blackall Avenue Park .
