Parks South Australia | Teach and Learn

The Environmental Education Action Plan 2021-2024 is a co-designed program to be delivered by the Department for Environment and Water and the Department for Education. The Program supports local students to get out of the classroom more often and into local parks, gardens and national parks. It also supports education and career pathways for students. The five key areas are:

• Learning in nature
• Tools for teaching
• Student pathways
• Understanding conservation and sustainability
• Partnering with Communities and industry

There are a range of teaching resources available through the Parks SA website, including:
