Whitehorse City Council’s Environmental Education Program is a free service run by Council officers and a team of volunteers.
The program provides environmental and sustainability education for local schools, pre-schools and a diverse range of community groups.
Please contact our Environment and Education Team for more details.
Topics explored include:
- Habitats and Ecosystems
- Adaptations
- Water
- Earth’s Resources
- Daily and Seasonal Change
- Human Impact
- Whitehorse Through Time
- Cultural Heritage
Most visits are to Blackburn Lake Sanctuary and Yarran Dheran, but other sites including incursions can be arranged.
A series of these activities have been aligned with The Victorian Curriculum F-10 and selected VCE subjects.
