CELEBRATE OUR UNIQUE NATURE
THE Geelong Nature Forum returns this month with an expanded suite of presentations, displays and naturebased activities.
The National Wool Museum will act as the central base for the week-long event, showcasing an art installation, photography exhibition, community group displays and a speaker series.
But there are also more than 10 outdoor activities for people to experience diverse natural attractions across locations such as Ocean Grove foreshore, Eastern Beach, the Moorabool River, Barwon River, Brisbane Ranges and Sparrovale Wetlands.
Geelong Mayor Stephanie Asher said the forum had a theme of Where The Rivers Run, focusing on the animal and plant life of our rivers, creeks and wetlands.
“The Geelong Nature Forum is all about celebration, connection and education,” Cr Asher said.
“The events and activities will provide fun and enjoyable ways for people to engage with our natural wonders.”
Cr Asher said visitors could learn more about the region’s waterways and the diverse wildlife they supported.
“We hope the forum will inspire everyone to follow their curiosity and discover the surprising, the colourful and the exciting natural environments on our doorstep,” she said.
The main event will be held on September 26, with other activities from September 25-October 3.
