Dive into River Recovery
Perth NRM can visit your class to educate students about the Swan-Canning River Recovery Stage 3 through interactive talks and activities. Hearing from an environmental scientist, your students will learn about the river system and how we can lessen our impact on the riparian environment. We can tailor our visit to suit your class or curriculum requirements. The visits are an hour in length and you can arrange multiple class visits for a whole school booking.
Better yet, all incursions are FREE!
