Aunty Dot Peters AM Flowering Grasslands Eco Session - Hawthorn

The Moondani Toombadool Centre would like to invite volunteers to assist with an enriching planting and eco-weeding day at the Aunty Dot Peters AM Flowering Grasslands, on our Hawthorn campus.

Dean Stewart, a Wemba Wemba – Wergaia man and the designer of the eco space, will be leading the session on Wednesday 20th November, from 10am-2pm.

This site recreates an evocative true eco-space of Indigenous Flowering Grasslands, reclaiming a piece of local ecosystem back onto the very sites where they once thrived for untold millennia and revealing a living time capsule, as if the world has changed except for this small special space of local natural landscape and biodiversity - a ‘Lost Lands Found’.

We encourage you to join us and roll up your sleeves. We understand that with busy work & study timetables, you may not be able to make it for the entirety of the session, however, we would love to have you join in for as long as your schedules allow!

The grasslands are located next to the Indigenous Learning Circles, directly across the campus from Gomez Cafe.

Gardening gloves and tools will be provided for all volunteers on the day. Please bring water with you on the day, and a hat/sunscreen.  

If you have any questions, please email engagementevents@swinburne.edu.au

We hope to see you there!
