Imagine a Saturday morning where children’s laughter mingles with the sounds of nature, hands dive into soil, and young minds brim with curiosity. At Lower Burdekin Landcare’s Junior Landcare events, this scene comes to life every month as kids of all ages dig into environmental fun, learning about sustainability while planting seeds, building worm farms, and crafting bee houses.
Lower Burdekin Landcare invites children of all ages to join their Junior Landcare events, held on the first Saturday of each month. The sessions are designed to educate young minds about the environment through hands-on, interactive activities like seed planting, learning about growing media, and exploring the benefits of worm farms and composting. Children also get creative with projects like making bee houses and painting rocks.
The event is free of charge, providing a fantastic opportunity for children to connect with nature while gaining practical knowledge in a fun and supportive environment. It concludes with a delicious sausage sizzle, allowing participants to relax and socialise after a morning of learning and creativity.
Running successfully for the past four months, this initiative continues to grow in popularity, welcoming kids who are keen to discover more about environmental conservation. Lower Burdekin Landcare encourages everyone interested to bring their families and join the activities, promoting environmental awareness and stewardship from a young age.
