Tracks and Scats (ages 6-10 years)

Join us in the Wollongong Botanic Garden as we explore the tracks and scats of our native wildlife

Did you know that wombat poo is cubed or that flying foxes help build forests?

Join us in the garden as we explore the tracks and scats of some well-known Australian animals and learn to identify them by the clues they leave behind.

This program will include learning about what types of food different animals eat, what types of tracks they leave behind and sculpting up some pretend animal scats. We will then go on an adventure through the gardens following some animal trails. Hopefully we also spot a few different animals.

This outdoor program includes hands on activities that are designed to expand participant’s knowledge of the natural environment.

NOTE: This session is suitable for ages 6 to 10 years. Check out our other Humanitix events for our 8 to 12 years version of this program.
