Stage 3 - Environmental Connections and Leadership
"When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world." - John Muir
About this excursion
Students take part in a series of activities designed to help them connect with and appreciate the environment by spending time in it and having fun!
The purpose of this program is for students to explore connections between people, places and natural environments. They will examine connections within their class group, within an ecosystem and between and their environment.
