The Lower Burdekin Landcare Association is inviting kids to learn about the environment with its Junior Landcare Program, happening this Saturday, May 1 and the first Saturday of every month.
The program is aimed at showing kids the love and importance of the local environment while teaching how to cultivate future carers for the land through conservation.
The first Junior Landcare Program ran last month where kids, along with their parents and grandparents, were shown how to assemble a worm farm composting system.
They put together the farm, layered the bedding and introduced the worms before finishing off the morning with a sausage sizzle and cold drinks in the clubhouse.
This Saturday, the program will look at collecting native seeds and planting them to make tubestock, similar to those cultivated and sold in the Lower Burdekin Landcare Association nursery.
The program is totally free to participate and best suited to children aged 6-12, although anyone interested in growing a green thumb is welcome.
WHAT: Junior Landcare Program
WHEN: Saturday, May 1 from 9am to 10am
