Green Mountain Nature Play - Botanical Exploration

Discover the hidden world of plants, natural dyes and bushcraft during Botanical Exploration, a creative and nature-filled school holiday adventure with Green Mountain Nature Play.

Children will explore the bush while learning about edible weeds, traditional plant uses and the fascinating role plants play in our environment. Hands-on activities include creating eco-prints using plant dyes, clay and sunlight, weaving baskets from natural materials, whittling a wand and cooking food over the fire.

Guided by experienced outdoor educators, children are encouraged to slow down, observe closely and connect with the natural world through exploration, creativity and play. With opportunities to wander bush tracks, discover native plants and develop practical outdoor skills, every day is shaped by curiosity and the interests of the group.

For children who love imaginative play and adventure, Green Mountain Nature Play is also offering Village Quest, where young explorers can build a wilderness village, create tools, learn fire-making skills and work together through collaborative bushcraft challenges.
