The Green Trail showcases many of the initiatives we’re taking at UNSW to practice and promote environmental sustainability, starting with our extensive native gardens. As you walk around campus you will discover the first of the signage that will continue to appear over the next twelve months as the three themes of the tour are developed and deployed both on line and on the ground. Currently you will find 25 different plants with signage indicating their traditional usage by the indigenous people of this local area or other parts of Australia. Whilst many of these ‘bushtucker’ plants are used for food other uses include for medicines, fishing/hunting or for fibre to make cloth or rope.

We have created the Green Trail to cater for anyone with an interest in sustainability, whether from the internal UNSW or broader community. The Tours are engaging for all from students and staff from UNSW, to primary and high school classes, campus visitors and international conference delegates. Clearly mapped and signposted, the walks are designed to be either self-guided or escorted, and of various durations depending upon the time you have available to explore. If you would like to be escorted by one of our trained Green Trail Guides please contact the UNSW Ecoliving Centre on the details below.

The Green Trail is a joint initiative of the UNSW Office of Media and Communications, Facilities Management including the Environment Unit and Grounds Department, the Faculty of Science, the School of Media, Film and Theatre, Nura Gili Indigenous Programs, the Environment Policy Advisory Committee and the UNSW Green Campus Volunteer Program. You can access further information about the groups involved with the UNSW Green Trail via the side menus to the left.
