• Guardians of Nature: Environmental Protection in Action

    These 5 Science, English, HASS, HPE lessons for primary-aged learners investigate how rules and regulations help to protect local flora and flora in Victorian environments and empower young people to take action to protect our environment.

About these resources

Our hobbies and outdoor activities can affect the native flora and fauna that call our beaches, parks, bushlands, wetlands and nature reserves home.

With these 5 lessons, you'll teach primary-aged learners about the rules that help protect these precious spaces and inspire them to make informed decisions when enjoying them.

Who should teach with these resources?

These resources have been created with the Conservation Regulator Victoria.

While many of the concepts discussed are ideal for helping primary-aged learners understand the importance of caring for local environments, the rules and regulations featured in these resources are specific to Victoria.

Please check your state or territory regulations before teaching with these resources if you're outside of Victoria.
