Event description

Join us for a fun afternoon out in the Wetlands room at Canberra City Farm, using the Canberra Nature Map app to explore the pollinators out there and get you started on this exciting journey for you, your family and your school or community group.

In celebration of Australian Pollinator Week (9-17 November 2024), Canberra Nature Map administrator Dr Michael Mulvaney will guide us on how to use Canberra Nature Map for Citizen Science activities at your school. Canberra Nature Map has been collaborating with schools in the ACT, where students record and upload the plants and animals near their school to build up a unique field guide and biodiversity rank. Records are identified by experts and contribute data to help on the ground outcomes across Australia.

Julie Armstrong from ACT for Bees and Other Pollinators will give an overview of Australian Pollinator Week and why bees and other pollinators are so crucial to our food and biodiversity. Learn of actions we can all do to support their health and wellbeing and about the 'Love Food? Love Bees!' curriculum resources for Early Learning, Primary and Secondary students. Students are welcome to join us.

Thanks to Canberra City Farm for hosting us, Canberra Nature Map and ACT for Bees + Other Pollinators

Hello!

In the beautiful ACT, the environmental education network is kept up to date at the Environmental Educators Network Blog, and includes:

Schools and teachers - did you know that 100% of ACT schools are registered sustainability partners and so all of our teachers have the opportunity to become world-leading education and learning for sustainability specialists!
Early childhood educators
Utilities and government departments
Community advocacy groups
Specialist programs and private education providers
Canberra region's significant conservation and environmental education sites
Academia generally and teacher training in particular - you might like to subscribe to receive the peer-reviewed AAEE Journal here.
Individual members and supporters.

The ACT community is justifiably very proud of its rich varied professional and community-wide education and learning for sustainability credentials. That is why the ACT chapter of AAEE believes we can meet the challenge to ensure that every student and educator has access to high-quality education and learning for sustainability no matter what school or site they attend.

The ACT Chapter works collaboratively with local EfS organisations on important environmental issues, through sharing expertise, exchanging information and providing professional development. The local organisations that the AAEE ACT works with are varied.
