What’s On In Term 3
Walked.by is more than just getting from A to B. We’re creating opportunities to connect with nature and with each other. Each week’s walk is themed to focus our engagement with nature. We’ll further develop topics using the newly-released NSW Climate Education Framework.

| 27- July – 2 Aug | Landcare & Restoration | Look for signs of care in the landscape – plantings, fencing, erosion control, weeding. |
| 3- 9 Aug | Rivers & Waterways | Follow any creek, river or drainage line – notice water levels, plant life at the edges. |
