Workskil Australia is seeking participants for a 23 week Green Army project to protect and enhance high biodiversity value remnant vegetation in the Tatiara Council District of South Australia.

Workskil Australia’s Green Army Supervisor will lead a team of nine Green Army participants and work collaboratively with the Tatiara District Council to undertake a wide range of practical and educational environmental activities that will develop skills in environmental management and related fields, while supporting local communities.
