Thanks for everyone who came to our World Oceans Day Talk at CREEC today! It was informative and interesting, and we can't thank our Unisc guest speaker Charlotte Kajewski enough for coming to share her knowledge and research with us.

If you were lucky enough to attend, we hope yourselves and your kids had a good time during the presentation. We hope to have many more in the future so keep an eye out for future specialist talks.

We couldn't think of a better way to celebrate World Environment Day than with a nature journal workshop in our beautiful rainforest.

We spotted many birds and bugs, shared stories and tea and realised we all had something in common which was loving to slow down and just be amongst nature.

Thank you to all our participants for choosing to connect with nature and inspiring us with all your artwork and methods. We couldn't have done it without our wonderful host Cerae from Drop into Nature.
