Participating in nature-based education activities improves children’s affinity and empathy for the natural environment, resulting in kids who are more likely to care for the natural world when they are older. Bellarine Nature Cadets delivers fun, place-based and hands-on activities on the coast, allowing kids to explore and connect with the coastal environment of the northern Bellarine Peninsula.

In 2025, Bellarine Nature Cadets is offering single event throughout the year, allowing families to pick and choose which sessions to join. A variety of activities will be offered based around the local cultural and environmental values, and sustainability.

Important information:

• The program is aimed to engage with a range of ages, but is most suitable for 6-12 year olds.
• All cadets must be supervised by a parent or guardian at all times during each session.
• Activities are free, but require registration due to limited numbers.
