At Gawler Environment Centre (GEC) we work with our local community to encourage action on environmental protection and enhancement, climate change mitigation and adaptation, and sustainable living. Our focus is knowledge sharing and taking action together.

We run monthly workshops and webinars that encompass everything from native plant propagation and sustainable gardening, to low waste living. Every second month we run Gawler Repair Cafe, where community members can have household items repaired free of charge and help to divert waste from landfill. We partner with Gawler Environment and Heritage Association to run the annual Understorey native plant sale, and support local community groups with their revegetation and restoration projects. We initiated the innovative Eco Coffin Project, which explores natural burial options.

GEC is funded by
