The Nature Education Project

Second Nature’s home, The Strathalbyn Natural Resource Centre
and our Nature Education Program, are supported by Green Adelaide.

The Objective

Explore • Learn • Connect

The Second Nature Conservancy Nature Education Project brings people together to connect with, learn about and care for our local environment across the Fleurieu Peninsula and surrounding regions.

Through hands-on workshops, guided walks, and community events, we make environmental learning accessible, practical and inspiring.
