Courses and Workshops
These are presented according to two main themes:
Vegetation Interpretation and Management 
A range of courses are offered, covering a varied levels and applications, including the home gardener, owners of bushland properties and rangers/managers of nature. A more extensive course in Ecological Management is planned for 2007.
Nature Experiences
A series of workshops are offered to assist people to re-experience (or to more deeply explore) the natural state of connection, within a safe and supportive context. They are completely non-denominational and respect the Spirit in all. Nature Experiences are conducted over a range of levels and interests and can be designed according to the specific needs or desires of groups. Low cost introductory events will be run regularly over the next year, including by individual arrangement if desired (contact us by email or phone for further information or schedules). 

An outline of proposed courses and workshops follows. We aim to keep prices as low as possible but costs of events may vary according to factors such as venues used, the group size, the intensity of the relevant event, and whether supplementary transport to venues is required.
