Students from Cooroy State School will get their hands dirty and help improve their local environment while participating in the Energex Junior Landcare activity day today.
Cooroy State School is one of 10 schools participating in the Energex Junior Landcare activity program. The initial year of program will see nearly 300 students across South East Queensland learn about sustainability issues and participating in revegetation activity in their local catchment.
Cooroy State School will partner with Noosa and District Landcare to spend a day in a living classroom and learn about their local catchment, assisting with a revegetation project and water quality monitoring.
"Junior Landcare teaches children about environmental sustainability in a fun and hands-on learning environment. It is a great way to get youth connecting with and learning about nature, as well as encouraging them to get outdoors," says Chloe Tanner, manager of Landcare Queensland.
"It will involve the school with the local landcare group and really get them thinking about how they can reduce their footprint on the environment, which is the key to preserving it for future generations."
