Go Wild in Nature

Go wild in nature these school holidays!

Oaklands Wetlands is a great place to explore with kids. Winding secret paths, huge old gums with bird life, stepping stones across the water, large open paths for prams - there's something for every family.

Meet us at the Rotunda to start your AMAZING morning. You can do as little or as much as you like!

9:30 am to 10:30am - Macroinvertebrates with Green Adelaide Nature Education Staff 

Go pond dipping to discover the world of water bugs.  See if you can find a water boatman or a scud? These curious creatures can tell us how healthy the water is and it is a great way to explore the wetlands.
