About us

Amongst It arose out of a desire to highlight people’s diverse expressions of love for the beautiful natural places in South Australia, and to sponsor new and varied ways for people to connect with and express appreciation for nature here in SA.

We're taking stock of the great work that's already happening, and kicking off a few new projects to find the best ways to do that.

Our hunch is that a positive, creative approach to nature connection is one of the most important conservation activities we can undertake. We can't expect people to care about something with which they have no relationship.

Our origins

We started as part of the Nature of SA, a sector-wide partnership experimenting with new ways forward for Nature and society in South Australia.

The team

We're run by a small working group from a variety of organisations:

Jill Woodlands, Amongst It Coordinator, NCSSA
Amber Cronin, Arts + programming
Vicki-Jo Russell AM, Amongst It Chair, Trees for Life
Ryan Hubbard, Festival Director, Hinterland Innovation
Jody Gates, Department for Environment and Water

Get in touch

You can reach the Amongst It Coordinator, Jill Woodlands, at jill.woodlands@ncssa.asn.au, or get in touch using the form below.

We acknowledge

the Adnyamathanha, Kaurna, Ngarrindjeri, Pitjantjatjara, Yankunytjatjara, and more than thirty other groups of traditional custodians of the land in South Australia.

We pay tribute to Elders past, present and emerging, who hold the stories, traditions, hopes and dreams of indigenous Australia.
