Episode 5: Edwina Robinson

Edwina Robinson is the founder of The Climate Factory, a social enterprise that is empowering people to plant the planet.  In 2020-21 Edwina created Canberra’s first urban community micro-forest which has transformed a dusty, weedy park in Downer into a dense pocket of native vegetation.  There are now community funded micro-forests popping up all over Canberra and Edwina’s mission is to build a micro-forest in every urban hotspot in Australia.  

Julie and Ryan sat down with Edwina to chat about her mission to cool the suburbs, the importance of working with community and why she will never live in a tiny house again!
