Environmental Education
 Only
when we understand our fragile natural environment will we be able to
conserve it. To grow appreciation and awareness of environmental issues
we fund projects that inform about the need for conservation and about
the many ways in which people can get involved:
Golden Paw Award
The Golden Paw Award is no longer running.
Teacher
Resources
The Foundation has
funded teacher resources that raise awareness and appreciation of unique
endangered species such as the Brush-tailed Rock-wallaby, the Mitchell’s
Rainforest Snail and the Lord Howe Island Land Snail. The kits contain
hands-on classroom activities that make it fun for teachers and students
to study biodiversity.

word puzzles, games and other teachers resources on marine and wetland animals.
Discovery Walks Talks & Tours
The Discovery program
makes a visit to national parks twice as much fun. Explore plants, wildlife,
historical sites and geological wonders with a ranger. It’s amazing
what you can discover if only you know where to look. Discovery tours
include activities such as spotlighting and run in all national parks
during school holidays. The Foundation kick-started this program by funding
the pilot program.
