The Conservation Critters nature walks are a FREE guided tour, through a local park where we discuss the area’s local biodiversity. Our walks are family friendly, with information about all of the nature, Bug Bingo, and other interactive activities! Once we finish the tour we will pause for a FREE Pollinator Picnic, where we connect the food we eat to the critters that helped bring it to us - the pollinators! Lucky friends of the critters will go home with a bee/bug hotel!
During our walks you will have the opportunity to:
1) Play nature bingo with awesome prizes to win!
2) Learn from and question passionate students (studying from experts)
3) Use documenting tool, INaturalist to record the critters you find and contribute to a world wide database of biodiversity.
4) Enjoy a pollinator picnic
Our walks are free and provide accessible education, re-kindling a connection between us and the nature around us. On these walks you will learn about links that critters and plants have to your daily life, and about the significance of biodiversity in your area. You will discover your part in helping to preserve and promote it too!
We have done 2 guided community tours so far and 2 guided primary school tours with nature art workshops as well. See below photos from all of our walks and workshops - where possible we use recycled materials and we always collect our rubbish and clean up Arcadia Park when we are there (looking for microplastic at all times). We give bags made from old sheets to each primary school student and they receive information about their upcycled plastic bottle planter, they get a packet of native seeds with information about how to care for them, and excellent other goodies.
