Get into nature

Get out into our local natural environment to meet people, learn about nature and exercise.

There are many local organisations and resources for caring for or experiencing our natural environment. From nature appreciation or hiking clubs to conservation groups dedicating their time to regeneration and revegetation projects, there is something to suit everyone. 

Get involved in Landcare and conservation projects in the Greater Bendigo region. Go to Events, Education and Volunteer Groups.
