USING A YARNING CIRCLE Connecting with the landscape

Yarning circles present a great opportunity to connect with your local Landcare or environment group, as well as local First Nations community members to discover more about the natural features in or around your yarning circle. Watch First Nations educator and Wiradjuri man, Adam Shipp, help students discover the native plants and their uses in the landscape surrounding their yarning circle.

What is Junior Landcare?

Junior Landcare provides children the opportunity to play an active role in ensuring the safe future of their environment.
Launched in May 1998, Junior Landcare recognises the vital role young Australians play in caring for the land, their environment and other natural resources. Junior Landcare connects young Australians with Landcare, one of the country’s largest volunteer movements. There are thousands of people and countless communities working together towards sustainable land use and undertaking on-ground action to protect, enhance or restore an area on behalf of the community.
