WARBURTON Environment is celebrating World Environment Day with a family friendly excursion into the tall tree forests near Warburton.
The group is inviting people to join them from 10am to 3.30pm to experience the majestic forests and learn about the natural environment.
The day will provide an opportunity, through science and storytelling, to learn about Melbourne’s water catchments and the critically endangered wildlife such as the Leadbeater’s Possum.
Local performer Simon Oats will entertain with storytelling, naturalist Don Butcher will talk on the water catchments and Steve Meacher from Friends of Leadbeater’s Possum will speak on the future of the critically endangered possum.
The Knitting Nannas of Toolangi and other local artists will also take part in the day.
Two tour buses will leave Warburton at 10am on Sunday 7 June, for the World Environment Day Great Forest Tour.
