Orange Biodiversity Month - Plants, animals, fungi, ecosystems...

Wild and vast or small and special. Biodiversity is the variety of life on earth and it’s essential for our lives.

The Orange region is home to a multitude of landforms that provide a wide range of habitats for biodiversity. During the month of September, we’re celebrating this biodiversity through a number of events for Orange Biodiversity Month. You can sit back and relax at the movies or get your hands dirty planting a tree; there’s something for everyone.
