Wild Families is a new program that supports families with children under 12 years old to enjoy, learn about, and look after nature together. The program works with local councils and land managers to develop fun resources for families to enhance their enjoyment of nature.
These resources include activities that can be done anywhere, feature special locations to discover nature, a sneak peek into the family life of Victorian wildlife, and fun ways to care for nature. There will be four Wild Families outdoor activities each year.
Registrations are essential! Book at wildfamilies.eventbrite.com.au
Wild Families is a Victorian National Parks Association program with support from Bank Australia’s Impact Fund.
