IntroductionThis paper aims at evaluating the community partnerships between Greening Australia and its various partners that the organization works with to fulfill their mandate. Greening Australia is a conservation and restoration project which was started in the year 1982 and has since grown to become an organization. Greening Australia works with various communities and entrepreneurs in accomplishing its objective of environmental conservation and wildlife protection. The organizations carry out various activities across Australia to help it achieve its mandate of conserving the environment across the country. Presently, Greening Australia has over 30 teams of volunteers and staff in different locations across the countries(Lachman, Wong& Resetar, 2017). The projects are undertaken with utmost professionalism and latest science is applied to help achieve the best for the landscape, the people and the wildlife. The vision of Greening Australia is to achieve healthy and productive landscapes where the people and nature thrive. Greening Australia aims at achieving its strategic plan of “Conservation without borders” through a commitment to conserving the environment through partnerships. This paper will evaluate and discuss at large the community partnerships in Greening Australia Habitat 141 project. The project is large scale in nature and it involves manycommunity partnerships and volunteers.

The community has collaborated with greening Australia and allowed professionals to work on their private land to restore the landscape.The Habitat 141 is very large in scope and it incorporates various programs under it so as to make it easier to carry out the mandate of the project. Some of this programs include; Alcoa 1 million trees, the Handbury Fund, Nurcoung Malleefowl corridor project, Billiat to Big Desert Biolink and the Alcoa carbon sinks program (Ros-tonen, Hombergh & Zoomers, 2007).
