Wallum Discovery Walk

Come join me for an informative and interactive journey through this beautiful wallum ecosystem on Kabi-Kabi land, where we explore questions such as-what is wallum? These ecology walks are not your ordinary hike, with the aim of covering a shorter distance in more detail and richness. During this offering, we will explore ancient cultural relationships with the land and traditional uses of key flora and fauna species, as well as unique adaptations of the wallum ecosystem and the animals which depend on its conservation. You will be provided with a take home guide to identifying the common wildflower species. 

A little about your host: I am a tour guide and ecologist with a background in education. I have been lucky enough to work in some amazing world heritage areas around Australia and I am bringing my knowledge and passion back to the Sunshine Coast to offer ecology walking tours!

Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to connect more deeply to nature and appreciate our unique Sunshine Coast ecosystems. I look forward to meeting you and taking you on this adventure- Letty :)
