[Catalist] Biology excursions and incursions with Nearer to Nature

[Richard Olive]

Nearer to Nature's program of excursions and incursions for Years 7-12 in 2022 is now available; download here<https://www.dpaw.wa.gov.au/images/Nearer%20to%20Nature%20program%20brochure%202022%203.05MB.pdf>.

Nearer to Nature delivers education on behalf of Parks and Wildlife Service within Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions. The excursions and incursions address key content in HASS (Geography) and Science (Biology) curricula covering topics such as fire in the landscape; our native flora and fauna; WA's threatened animal species; our forest and wetland ecosystems; and Aboriginal culture and sustainability.

Several programs have been updated based on teacher feedback including Fire geography, Flora biology and Fauna biology. Regular clients will notice a new format for the brochure to make it more easily readable on-screen. We have also provided a summary table<https://www.dpaw.wa.gov.au/images/images/images/documents/get-involved/n2n/schools/brochures/Nearer%20to%20Nature%20program%20summary%20Years%207%20to%2012%20345KB.pdf> to get an overview of all offerings.

Excursions are offered at a range of venues around the Perth area including Dwellingup, Canning River Eco Education Centre, Piney Lakes Environmental Education Centre, Yanchep National Park and our base at Perth Hills Discovery Centre, Mundaring. The campground at Mundaring is free for schools to use when booking an excursion in return for some volunteer work.
