Sustainable Centre Visits
Sustainable centre visits and networking opportunities are planned throughout the year at various locations around and beyond Melbourne. Venues such as early childhood services, gardens, zoos, recycling stations etc which are actively participating in education for sustainability are chosen to provide members with ideas and inspiration to feedback to their own centres.
