Wild Homes Challenge 2022

Animals across the country are at threat after the significant bushfires in recent years, with homes lost and nowhere safe to start new families.

Now is your chance to get together with your colleagues and make a difference by getting involved in CVA’s Wild Homes Challenge. Teams will work together to create a variety of new homes, including nest boxes and insect hotels, for threatened species across the country. It’s a great way to connect and make a difference for our precious wild neighbours.

This event is part of our Corporate Challenge Series and will take place on Friday 7^th October in celebration of World Habitat Day.

World Habitat Day aims to reflect on the condition of our towns and cities as well as the basic right of all to adequate shelter. It’s also a reminder that we have the power and responsibility to shape the future of these spaces.

Did you know that even small hollows, that many of our native animals rely on for a roof over their head, take on average 100 years to form?

This challenge contributes to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 3 – Good Health & Wellbeing, 13 – Climate Change, 15 – Life On Land and 17 – Partnerships For The Goals.

 

 

Corporate teams of up to 10 participants will take part in capital cities around the country to create as many homes as possible on the same day. Spaces are limited so register your interest below to secure your team’s place. There is a $3,000 +GST registration fee per team and each corporate organisation will only be allowed to enter one team per location – check the table below for more information.

Event Schedule

Here is a sneak peek into what will be involved on the day to help guide your challenge preparation. Each event will be run slightly differently but will follow a similar timeline.

Please note that this will be a COVID safe event, however, due to the unpredictable nature of the pandemic you will be notified if this event can no longer go ahead.

“The staff running the event were friendly and helpful and a lot of fun. It was great to learn more about bees and habitats.”

Event Requirements

Cancellation Policy

The Corporate Challenge Series are COVID safe events, and we will do our best to ensure that these events take place as scheduled. However, due to the unpredictable nature of the pandemic unfortunately we can’t guarantee that every event will go ahead. If we must make the difficult decision to cancel an event due to COVID-19, each team will be notified and CVA will endeavour to reallocate your team’s participation to another similar event, if one is available.

If participation cannot be reallocated to a similar event within a reasonable timeframe, the registration cost will be converted into a donation to support CVA as a charity and the hard work and planning that went into creating the best experience possible for our corporate volunteers.

We appreciate your support and understanding.

 

The Winners

There will be a winning team in each challenge location and the winners will receive a prize and participation certificate to acknowledge their achievement.

An overall National winner for the challenge will be announced after the event and they will receive the 2022 CVA Wild Homes Challenge trophy, made by Wathaurong Glass & Arts.
