Description
Join us in Term 4, 2025, for our NEW roving Bush Kids Forest School program (11 sessions), which will be located in and around Eltham (near Lower Eltham Park) and Warrandyte, exploring some magnificent bushland reserves and parks that are sure to delight any nature-loving family.
Situated on the traditional lands of the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation, these unique locations have been carefully chosen for the rich opportunities they provide for learning, play and connection. With winding creeks, gentle waterways, bushland trails and bridges to explore, they are alive with an abundance of fascinating flora and fauna waiting to be discovered.
Our Bush Kids Forest School program incorporates hands-on activities, adventurous and risky play, and bush walks that connect to and teach about the local flora and fauna.
