I have been living in Bendigo for just over 10 years now and I had no idea that there was this fantastic bit of bush that we can visit at Crusoe Reservoir.
Just by chance I found out about it - the local council held a local National Tree Planting day out there at the start of the month & last weekend I just had to return, with husband and bikes, and have a good wonder around.
I am getting myself involved in another community group - something that I find exciting and will give to my family. It is with the biodiversity group with the Bendigo Sustainability Group.
What I would like to help organise is regular activities for kids and their families in Central Victoria - as a way to form relationship to environment. Growing up on a farm I experienced something very unique and it would be wonderful to share this with my children - limited as I am living in suburbia.
However have some great resources on hand such as the book Let's Go Outside and some America groups such as
Kids in the Valley Adventuring
Children and Nature Network
