Going Bush in Lizard Log!
Spring in the park means bugs, buds, and baby birds all around!

Step into the wonder of nature on this hands-on safari. For two hours, kids will roam, explore, and create as they discover the secrets of Lizard Log.

Program Highlights:

Ranger-Led Safari Walk: Wander through Lizard Log with our education rangers, spotting nests, burrows, and the hidden homes of local wildlife.
Bug and Habitat Hunt: Slow down and look closely—find the critters that call the park home in springtime.
Build Your Own Insect Hotel: Design and create a special hideaway for our smallest park residents, helping bugs stay safe and the ecosystem stay healthy.

Learn how to twist and weave your own cordage to keep it all together!

Every session is a chance to get your hands dirty, see nature up close, and make something that gives back to the park.

Please note this is a DROP OFF program. Parents do not attend with children.

Please note: At Greater Sydney Parklands, our child-led nature play programs adapt to the needs of participants and weather conditions. This may result in variations from the described activities. Our priority is to ensure children have a meaningful connection to nature. We appreciate your understanding and flexibility in supporting our approach.
