Summary

This environmental education resource is designed to give you ideas for planning exciting and experiential learning activities outside the classroom.

The Forest Hill Scenic Reserve has a walking track which is steep in places but is well graded, and takes around two hours to walk one way. If you do not have time to walk the whole track you can adapt activities to suit the Loop Track which is a one hour return walk from the Forest Hill picnic area.

The Forest Hill 'Super Site' resource aims to help you and your students explore the geology, forest life and human history of this area.

Background information is included for teachers, as well as curriculum links, getting there information and other considerations to help you with planning your trip.

Pre- on site and follow-up activities provide students with a range of experiences in, about, and for the environment.
