FOBIF Winter School Holiday Program Registrations – Now Open

Posted on 9 June, 2015 by Connecting Country

The Friends of the Box-Ironbark Forests (FOBIF) are excited to announce registrations open for their 2015 Winter School Holiday Program. The program is for primary school age children and will run in the first week of the rapidly approaching mid-year holiday break. The program has three events, all run out of the tea rooms in the Castlemaine Botantical Gardens and will explore the theme of habitat.

The first event is a Live Animal Display and Treasure Hunt in the northern section of the gardens, the second is titled ‘Habitat Stories’ and is held in conjunction with the Goldfields Library and will be an exploration of books and their role in helping us to understand the natural world and the final session is titled ‘Botanical Drawing with a Castlemaine Twist’ and is an opportunity for children and adults to elaborate on traditional botanical drawing using their observational skills and imaginations.

The cost for these events is $5 per child per event or free for FOBIF members.

Children must be accompanied by an adult for the duration of the events, all events are BYO lunch.
