Environmental & Sustainability Programs

Outdoor Learning That Connects Students with Country and Climate

At the heart of outdoor education is a deep connection to the natural world. Bindaree’s Environmental and Sustainability Programs are designed to foster this connection through hands-on learning experiences that explore Australia’s diverse ecosystems, environmental challenges, and sustainable living practices.

Using the natural landscapes of Victoria and beyond — from coastal dunes and alpine peaks to bushland and river systems, students gain a deeper appreciation for the environments they live and learn in.

Tailored Programs with Real-World Impact

We tailor each program to suit your group’s learning goals, focus areas, and curriculum needs. Whether you’re supporting cross-curricular priorities or inspiring the next generation of environmental leaders, our programs deliver practical, purpose-driven learning.

Program Activities May Include:

Beach Combing & Coastal Studies

Investigate tidal zones, marine debris, and the human impact on fragile coastal environments.

Bush Regeneration & Invasive Species Removal

Learn about native biodiversity, invasive species, and participate in hands-on habitat restoration.

Environmental Education Sessions

Ecological Fieldwork – Flora & Fauna Studies

Conduct species ID, habitat assessments, and population surveys in bushland, wetland, or alpine regions.

Reef & Marine Studies

Study the complexity of Australia’s reef systems, including marine biodiversity, reef health, and the impact of climate change.

We work with both primary and secondary groups, offering flexible formats that engage students meaningfully while supporting your school’s priorities.

More Than a Lesson - A Lasting Impact!

At Bindaree, we believe outdoor education is one of the most powerful tools we have to drive environmental change. When students immerse themselves in nature, they don’t just learn about it — they learn to value and protect it.

Let’s design a program that inspires your students to think globally and act locally.
