More than 1,100 schools and early learning centres (ELC) across Australia will receive funds to help build and develop hands-on environmental learning projects through this year’s Woolworths Junior Landcare Grants program.
Students at St James’ Anglican School get hands-on with bush tucker planting to improve understanding of local Indigenous plants and culture.
Spring Mountain State School students enjoy hands-on learning about native plants, animals and sustainable gardening practices in new community garden.
Students at Parkwood Primary School plant Harmony Garden to celebrate the school’s multicultural environment through produce and cooking.
Thanks to their Woolworths Junior Landcare Grant, Merindah Children’s Centre in Wallsend, NSW, set about planting native herbs and plants to help children learn more about different species of plants, and their connection to the land and its people.
