Support our campaign to protect Canberra’s Western Edge from unnecessary and environmentally destructive development!

In August 2025 we launched our campaign to protect Canberra’s Western Edge. We have been blown away with your commitment to protect this vital habitat – having received almost 1,000 signatures on our petition, our Western Edge walks are booking out faster than we can organise them, and we’ve had countless people sign up to volunteer. 

We are delighted to be launching our Western Edge Campaign Fund – a dedicated fund to go towards our campaign to save the Western Edge. 

To get us on a stronger footing for this campaign, in 2025 we raised $7,250, which went towards commissioning a documentary maker to produce a high quality documentary about urban sprawl, to host a Celebrating The Western Edge Event and for printing of materials. 

Now that this fundraising was so successful, we have increased our goal to $10,000! An extra $2,750 will go to:

• $1,500 – to cover printing of posters and brochures for stalls, events, and to put on bollards and poster boards around the city.  
• $750 – to host a second screening of our On The Edge Documentary, given our first one sold out.
• $500 – to contribute to costs for a mobilisation at the Legislative Assembly in the second half of the year.  

Any further money raised will go into future plans for the campaign – including doorknocking and letterboxing local areas, social media advertising to promote the petition, more events such as a film screening, and a mass petition delivery event early in the new year. The more funds we can raise now, the more we can do.
