EARTH EDUCATION is…

…the process of helping people to live more harmoniously with the natural world by…

• Understanding how ecosystems work
• Developing a long lasting love and respect for the Earth and its life-forms
• Reducing their own impact on its natural resources

AN EARTH EDUCATION PROGRAMME is…

…a carefully crafted series of learning experiences which …

• Motivate and pull the learners in
• Emphasise major ecological understandings
• Involve exciting tasks that are both 'hands on' and 'minds on'
• Weave activities together with a clear, easily remembered formula to aid comprehension and retention
• Transfer the learning tasks to both school and home by developing good environmental habits.

We believe earth education is a serious task but getting to know the natural world is a lifelong adventure full of wonderful experiences and joy.
