Waste & Wildlife
This unique Landcare-themed waste education workshop will educate and inspire the next generation of environmental stewards in Tasmania.
Availability: Expressions of interest for the 2026 school year are now open.
Our guiding question for this program is:
"How does the waste we create affect Tasmania's wildlife and environment, and how can we take action to protect the places we care about?"
Through interactive activities, discussions and hands-on projects, students will not only learn about the issues, but also about actionable solutions they can implement in their own lives and communities.
This education program features local Tasmanian wildlife species: the Platypus, Little Penguins, Microbats and Bennetts Wallaby.
The Waste & Wildlife program consists of:
- two pre-lessons that set the scene - these would be delivered by the teachers,
- the incursion workshops with our Landcare Education staff,
- several post-lesson plans
- student handouts
- resource guides.
