Eco Explorers

The best childhood memories are never found on a screen ...

They are found balancing on logs, collecting treasures in tiny pockets, jumping in puddles and wondering what lives beneath a fallen leaf.🍂💦

Every week, we watch families slow down, become curious, build confidence and form a genuine connection with the natural world.

These small moments in nature may seem simple, but they grow into something powerful — a love of the Earth, a sense of belonging and a childhood filled with adventure. 💚🌏

Happy World Environment Day, Explorers! 💚🌏

Today is a celebration of the incredible natural world that sustains us, inspires us and connects us all which is at the heart of what we do.

For the past 10 years, we have been helping children develop a deep connection with the natural world. 🌳

We believe that children protect what they love, and they love what they know. Through meaningful outdoor experiences in, we inspire lifelong connection, care and responsibility for the Earth. 🌿🌏

Today, and every day, we celebrate the wild places that teach us, sustain us and remind us that even the smallest hands can make a difference.💚

Such curiosity in the forest today - we even found a bone! What part of a body, which animal, what happened to it? It was tiny, and lightweight, which made us think perhaps a bird bone?

Meandering with our emu friends, and finding a minute forest of coral fungi.. so good to be outdoors, learning and connecting ✨️

Join us on Wednesdays at Nangak Tamboree Wildlife Sanctuary!
