Adopt a coastline or bushland
The Adopt a Coastline or Bushland Program gives students the opportunity to take part in a free environmental program involving education, rehabilitation and protection activities along the coastline and in bushland areas.
Student outcomes
As well as covering the curriculum areas of geography and science, this program also allows students to demonstrate active citizenship through their work on this valuable community project. The program will enable students to:
- Work with Natural Environment Officers planting local provenance species;
- Learn about the biodiversity of the coastal and bush environment;
- Contribute to their community and environmental responsibility through active citizenship;
- Understand the relationship between people and the environment with two classroom presentations from environmental experts and Indigenous educators and
- Have the opportunity to display their classroom work relating to the program within the Joondalup Libraries.
Register for this program by Friday 23 February 2024.
Teaching resources
An extensive range of curriculum linked teaching resources for the coastal and bushland programs has also been developed.
These educational resources have been produced by the City of Joondalup with the expertise of a teacher, and all due care has been taken to ensure accurate information has been provided and the work is Australian Curriculum aligned at the time of production.
Two excellent publications, Perth Plants and Coastal Plants are available through the City of Joondalup Libraries to aid teachers in identifying species and their adaptations.
