WALKING the Seasons is heading to even more schools following the success of its pilot program at Grant High School in 2022.
The program was designed to help the Limestone Coast community engage with and learn more about country and culture across the region.
Limestone Coast Landscape Board (LCLB) landscape education coordinator Vanessa Freebairn said it was great to see an additional five schools sign on for the program.
“Supporting educators in this space is something we are proud to be involved in,” she said.
LCLB First Nations partnership coordinator David New said there had been some really good engagement with the program so far.
“The program has produced some really positive results working collaboratively with Burrandies Aboriginal Corporation in facilitating First Nations elders for these sessions,” he said.
“Thank you to Elders Uncle Doug Nicholls and Aunty Michelle Jacquelin-Furr for sharing their knowledge with the students through the program.”
Students have visited locations including Honan’s Forestry Reserve, Canunda National Park and Naracoorte Nature Parks through the program.
