A **social enterprise** is **a business, for good**. They trade like any other business, but **exist to make the world a better place**. Social enterprises do three things: - Have a social, cultural or environmental purpose - Generate a substantial portion of their income from trade - Invest profit & resources into their purpose so that public/community benefit outweighs private benefit ![Happy volunteer family putting their hands together on a sunny day](https://www.wagtailnativesnursery.com.au/hubfs/Happy%20volunteer%20family%20putting%20their%20hands%20together%20on%20a%20sunny%20day.jpeg) ## Our Social Impact ![IMAG3230](https://www.wagtailnativesnursery.com.au/hubfs/IMAG3230.jpg) #### Restoring native landscapes We grow healthy plants destined for plantings that help improve air, soil and water quality. As they grow, they provide ecosystem services that benefit all local wildlife - including us. ![Hoary Sunray](https://www.wagtailnativesnursery.com.au/hubfs/Hoary%20Sunray.jpg) #### Protecting native species We nurture local native flora species to help protect them from extinction. These plants pay it forward by providing habitat and food for native fauna. ![Successful diverse young business team giving a victorious thumbs up to show their success and motivation, close up view of their raised hands](https://www.wagtailnativesnursery.com.au/hubfs/Successful%20diverse%20young%20business%20team%20giving%20a%20victorious%20thumbs%20up%20to%20show%20their%20success%20and%20motivation%2c%20close%20up%20view%20of%20their%20raised%20hands.jpeg) #### Fostering community connections We work together with local businesses and organisations to help create a more resilient, relational community. ![National Tree Day 2022 Cropped](https://www.wagtailnativesnursery.com.au/hubfs/National%20Tree%20Day%202022%20Cropped.jpg) #### Sharing our knowledge We take every opportunity to share information about our local native species through markets, events, workshops, and newsletters. ![Happy grandmother gardening on a sunny day](https://www.wagtailnativesnursery.com.au/hubfs/Happy%20grandmother%20gardening%20on%20a%20sunny%20day.jpeg) #### Giving gardeners good choices We help gardeners choose plants that are good for their gardens and great for our local wildlife. Less weedy plants in gardens means less weeds in our bushland. ![BIOBLITZ Generic](https://www.wagtailnativesnursery.com.au/hubfs/BIOBLITZ%20Generic.jpg) #### Educational and entertaining events We run and support events that encourage people to learn more about our environment while capturing data that informs scientific research. ![Old Habits - New Habits signpost with forest background](https://www.wagtailnativesnursery.com.au/hubfs/Old%20Habits%20-%20New%20Habits%20signpost%20with%20forest%20background.jpeg) #### How can you support social enterprise?
