Description
Join us in Term 1, 2026, for our Bush Kids Forest School families program (9 sessions) at Sassafras Creek Reserve in the beautiful Dandenong Ranges. Sassafras Creek Reserve is a beautiful, shady bush setting with winding trails, lush ferns, and gentle water flow, making it a peaceful and inspiring place for children to explore, play, and connect with nature.
