Indigenous Farming & Fire Knowledge

Sydney & Surrounds

In this hands-on Indigenous workshop, children explore how Aboriginal people have cared for Country for thousands of years using fire in smart, gentle ways.

Through stories and interactive learning, kids discover how cool burning helps native plants grow, keeps habitats healthy, and creates safe homes for animals.

After learning together, children get their hands dirty by planting a native seedling in a biodegradable pot with native soil to take home and care for.

This fun and meaningful experience helps kids connect to Country, culture, and the important role we all play in looking after the land.
