Edith Stephens Nature Reserve Environmental Education Centre

About

We believe that through environmental education, we will form partnerships to conserve, protect, nurture and care for our environment and invoke in the youth community a sense of environmental pride and responsibility that promotes environmentally-sustainable lifestyles, behaviour and actions.

The Edith Stephens Nature Reserve Environmental Education Centre provides local residents and schools with conservation, recreational and educational opportunities, from teachers’ workshops to children’s holiday programmes. Some programme themes include: biodiversity, birds, wetlands, plant propagation, garden landscaping workshops and heritage. Programmes can be tailor made.

The centre also hosts special environmental days/weeks and activity-based learning such as litter clean ups or invasive species removal. Talks, guided hikes and awareness programmes can be arranged.

We do not provide overnight accommodation.
