Junior Conservation Club

Junior Conservation Club

Nature-loving kids, this club is for you!

Junior Conservation Club is the perfect platform to encourage those who are passionate about the environment, and don't mind getting their hands a little dirty. With a focus on nature and providing opportunities to learn new skills and meet new friends, we guide you towards hands-on ways to help our native plants and animals. We will spark inspiration and a connection with nature. Come along and get involved in our diverse monthly activities.

Sessions are held at Cleland Wildlife Park and will run for 2 hours once a month between March and November, with each month focusing on a different topic.
