Coastal Custodians Mini (April Activities)

This program is supported by Landscape Hills and Fleurieu’s Grassroots Grants Program, and is funded by the landscape levy. 

The program aims to provide opportunities to young children and teens by giving them experiences of immersion and investigation, highlighting the importance of marine biodiversity and the local iconic species that are vulnerable, under threat, and recovering. The program is based on the Fleurieu Peninsula, centred on Victor Harbor. 

We will take young explorers for the remaining two experiences in Victor Harbor, centred around the South Australian Whale Centre.

There is a $40 commitment fee to participate in the activities.
