School students explore the great outdoors with local elders<\/strong><\/p>\n

Five more schools have embraced the \u2018Walking the Seasons\u2019 program this year, following its pilot introduction into Grant High School last year. <\/p>\n

\u2018Walking the Seasons\u2019 was inspired by the region\u2019s First Nations seasonal calendar. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The program aims to help the Limestone Coast community connect with country and culture across the landscape by observing and recording flora and fauna as young citizen scientists.<\/p>\n

This year, the program has been rolled out to other schools in the region with five schools coming on board and undertaking the program as part of their curriculum. <\/p>\n

The Limestone Coast Landscape Board has developed a range of resources for the program and can provide on country support for excursions through their Landscape Education team.<\/p>\n

Landscape education coordinator Vanessa Freebairn said it was great to see primary and secondary schools showing such a keen interest in the educational program.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Limestone Coast Landscape Board are passionate about First Nation\u2019s nature education,\u201d Vanessa said. <\/p>\n

\u201cSupporting educators in this space is something we are proud to be involved in.\u201d.<\/p>\n

Schools involved in the program have the opportunity to learn from local First Nations Elders about the significance of the seasons and how indigenous people moved across the landscape using resources of the land.<\/p>\n

Students have visited Honan\u2019s Forestry Reserve, Canunda National Park and Naracoorte Nature Parks as part of their experiences On Country. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Being outside the classroom exploring and recording observations in the local landscape provides hands on learning.<\/p>\n

David New, First Nations partnership coordinator said the program had produced some really positive results working collaboratively with Burrandies Aboriginal Corporation in facilitating First Nations elders for these sessions. <\/p>\n

\u201cThank you to Elders Uncle Doug Nicholls and Aunty Michelle Jacqueline-Furr for sharing their knowledge with the students through the program,\u201d David said.<\/p>\n
