When we plan and design public spaces, we need to protect our:

• native and wild animals
• native plants.

Native animals and plants are from our part of Australia.

We should plant more native plants in our public spaces.

This will help our native and wild animals.

Our native and wild animals need public spaces to:

• move and eat
• sleep and live.

Our public spaces can also be places for people to:

• learn how to become a custodian of Country
• care for the health of Country
• support our natural environment.

Many public spaces connect parts of our natural environment together.

We can use public spaces to help protect the environment.

We can also make public spaces that people can use when there’s an emergency, like a fire or flood.
