STEP Arboretum Walk

Join fellow environmental educators (and AAEE ACT) on June 13, for a 1.5-hour guided walk hosted by the National Arboretum.

Meet at the National Arboretum’s Village Centre, next to the POD playground, at 1pm.

Please wear suitable walking shoes and appropriate clothing, it can be windy and cold this time of the year.

After the walk join other environmental educators at the Arboretum Café for coffee and a networking opportunity.

Led one of the National Arboretum's professional educator’s, the 1.5 hr walk moves through several forest plantings, before arriving at the Southern Tablelands Ecosystems Park (aka STEP) - Forest 20. 

STEP is a regional botanic garden, education and conservation site that showcases native species of the Southern Tablelands, including eucalypt woodlands, grasslands, and understorey plants characteristic of the local region.

Designed as a living learning space, the STEP garden specifically showcases critically endangered ecosystems such as the Yellow Box/Red Gum grassy woodland, providing an ideal setting for dialogue, observation, and reflection on environmental education.
