For Educators

Project Platypus is helping train our next generation of landcarers.

We are proud to offer enriching educational experiences designed to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of our natural environment among students. Through hands-on experiences such as tree planting days and biodiversity surveys, we aim to inspire the next generation of environmental stewards. Check out our iNaturalist project to see what our budding citizen scientists are contributing!
