As part of our project “Connecting young people with nature“, we are building a community of young people who are passionate about the environment, nature and sustainability.
We want to give young people the opportunity to take part in hands-on activities to learn about topics such as: permaculture, biodiversity, waste, energy use and nature.
Most importantly, we want to support young people to make a difference in the sustainability of your home, school or community!
On these pages, we’ll share an ever-changing selection of resources to help you learn about different aspects of sustainability, and how you can make a change in your world.
We’ll also share details of coming events which are designed for young people – just like you!

If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to contact Nicole Maher by email (nmaher@mli.org.au) or phone (0438 452 814).
