We have had a busy time recently with our Planting the Seed Program planting days and cultural heritage sessions, which we run in partnership with Ecology and Restoration Australia (ERA).

We had a very successful planting day at the Mentone foreshore with students from Kilbreda College, and other busy day with students from Bullarto South Primary School, near Daylesford. Check out our before and after shots below! Thanks to all the staff and students who worked so hard on the day, and to Kingston City Council and Hepburn Shire Council for all their help. A big thanks to Junior Landcare, Port Phillip Bay Fund and Hepburn Shire Council for funding our Planting the Seed program.

Kai also ran some wonderful sessions on Indigenous cultural heritage, talking about his cultural background as well as traditional uses for plants and animals. Students had a lot of fun using traditional Aboriginal symbols to communicate their own stories.

Eco Warriors Australia is excited to announce that, in partnership with Ecology and Restoration Australia, we have received a grant for the Planting the Seed program from Murrindindi Shire Council.

ERA will help to revegetate a Land for Wildlife site located next to Buxton Primary School in Buxton.
