Education & awareness

The next generation of conservationists is in a Free State classroom right now.


Clean-ups
Clean-ups

A child who has stood on the impact ring and been told what happened here does not forget it. Bringing schools onto the land — to the rock, the river, the grassland — does more in one morning than a term of posters ever will.

The same is true the other way around. Landowners brought into the science of what is happening on their own ground — the water results, the fire regime, what the alien clearing is actually for — make better decisions than landowners who were only ever told what not to do.

Clean-ups, walks, school days and talks all belong to this front. It is the slowest-returning work on the list, and the one that decides whether any of the rest of it still matters in thirty years.

This front needs backing.

Every one of these eight runs on donations, volunteers and landowners who say yes. If this is the part of the dome you care about, back it.
