How This Came About

After witnessing another high-rise building being erected in the Valley, local resident Kellie Nealon started to wonder why there was no allocation of Green Space. Understanding that balance is key to any healthy organism, it was so apparent that the growing infrastructure of the Valley was not balanced and desperately needed an area that could be transformed to Green.

Kellie knew that it would need to be commercially viable before anyone would even listen, so she came up with a plan so unique and crazy that it actually made sense. She discussed her plan with anyone who would listen and one by one, people jumped on board to contribute.

2 years on and the plan is now an Association with 12 members all dedicated to giving a small piece of land back to the community so we can all enjoy the beauty and goodness of Mother nature in the City.

Now all we need is you! The more you get behind us, the quicker we will bring this dream to life.
