Biodiversity is the variety of all life forms on earth – the different plants, animals and micro-organisms and the ecosystems of which they are a part. The presence of a broad diversity of species of plants and animals in a particular area may indicate a healthier environment.

EnviroEdu’s Biodiversity in our Backyard program aims to instil a greater understanding and appreciation of our local environment. We will explore the biodiversity of the school yard and compare this to other ‘local’ environments including our backyard and other nearby areas (park grounds, National Parks, Murray River frontage, Lakes Ranfurly and Hawthorn etc).

This program offers students an opportunity to discover more about their natural world and the organisms within through a range of engaging, fun and tactile activities. These activities will encourage not only collaboration and team work, but will foster a fantastic sense of achievement as students learn how to conserve and promote a ‘bio-diverse’ and hence ‘healthy and sustainable’ local environment for their community.
