The Young Naturalist presents Outdoor Nature Connection activities on select Saturdays, for children aged between 7 and 17 years.
Our Citizen Science & Nature Photography Saturday afternoon workshops
The Young Naturalist introduces children to the key morphological characters/features used to scientifically identify Plants, Fungi and Insects so their photographs convey valuable scientific information, facilitating valid taxonomic identification in iNaturalist.
Children use the Canon cameras we won in the 2021 Canon Oceania Small Business Grant!
Our Young Naturalist weekend activities
provide instruction in Nature Photography for scientific purposes, together with Citizen Science participation in
‘The Young Naturalist Nature Discovery Project’ in iNaturalist.
Our workshops are held in community halls set within native parklands/bushland reserves, facilitating both indoor and outdoor learning activities.
