What's Happening?

Join us for a morning in the heart of the Wellsford Forest, where we'll gather around the campfire to bake damper on a stick, slathered with butter and honey. This hands-on activity is perfect for families looking to connect with nature and like-minded people.

We're thrilled to be joined once again by the Wellsford Forest Friends & Landcare Group. These passionate local experts will share their knowledge about the unique Box-Ironbark forest ecosystem. Have you ever wondered how to identify a lace monitor's recent visit or what makes a tree a Box-Ironbark? Bring your questions and curiosity!

During the session there'll be ample time for exploration and free play in the bush.

Who's This For?

This event is designed for children and minors accompanied by a responsible adult. It's a fantastic opportunity for families to spend quality time together in nature, learning and playing in a safe and supportive environment.
