Meet the heritage stonemasons of Rookwood Cemetery!

Go behind the scenes to see what it’s like to be caretakers on a site with over 150 years of history. We’ll talk to you about the link between sustainability and heritage and take you through some of our recent projects, with demonstrations of how we take care of some of our most precious assets.

This workshop will cover:

• Understanding the concept of embodied energy and how it is applied
• Discussion of community values and how we can start conversations to achieve sustainability
• An appreciation for heritage sites – developing a respect and sense of responsibility as future caretakers
• Understanding how action for heritage conservation can be developed

Connection details and hardware recommendations to come. Printable PDFs with activities will be provided, and will be sent to you one week before the event.

The A Conversation About Conservation workshop ticket includes access to the afternoon shows.
