Do you know a girl aged 10-13 who loves outdoor adventures? Is she a young environmental crusader passionate about local wildlife?
If so, you might want to let her know about Mooloolah River Landcare’s upcoming January school holiday field excursion program, Girls in the Wild.
This week-long field science and environmental action experience includes the chance to work alongside inspiring women scientists and conservationists!
Organiser Jessica Raintree says, “My goal is to inspire future environmental champions and highlight the vital work being done by women on the Sunshine Coast.”
Activities will include dolphin research, bat studies, koala care, rockpool exploration, and wildlife rescue, using tech like citizen science apps, photography, VR, and hydrophones.
Field locations include Noosa, Maleny, and Caloundra. Best of all, it’s free thanks to an Investing in Queensland Women grant.
Applications are due by December 6 and are available on Mooloolah River Landcare’s website (mrl.org.au) under the ‘Girls in the Wild’ project.
