Are you interested in rocks, soil, fungi, plants, and animals? Do you want to learn about climate change and seasons? Or ways to care for country and manage private property?
A subsidised course for nature lovers in the Horsham region is now taking registrations.
Nature Stewards is a program that connects people with their local environment, teaches them practical skills and introduces them to like-minded individuals.
There are six classes and four field sessions to be held from July 22 to August 26. Experts such as ecologists, volcanologists, climate scientists, traditional owners and landcarers will be part of the program.
It’s a great way to gain knowledge, learn practical skills and meet like-minded others in the local community.
Participants will discover ways to help nature at home and through volunteering.
Open to everyone over the age of 18 and hosted at Horsham Neighbourhood House, the course is $250 for people over the age of 30, $125 for under 30s, and $65 for full-time students and concession card holders.
