Meet our Land excursions coordinator
Darren has a passion for plants and the way people interact with the natural environment. Coming from a horticulture and geography background, he discovered his passion for education and engaging people through environmental education while working as an educator at La Trobe Wildlife Sanctuary and also in his time as an Environmental Programs Assistant at a private college. Darren enjoys volunteering with humanitarian and environmental organisations, participates in community projects and has a keen interest in Permaculture. Outside of CERES he also works as a gardener with the Diggers Club.
Darren is currently working on some exciting new Land themed Excursion and Incursion activities based around Integrated Farming and Permaculture principles. All of our land activities are Victorian Curriculum aligned.
Have a look at our Land Excursion page for a list of available programs: http://dev.sustainability.ceres.org.au/program/student/excursions/land/
Keep an eye on this page for our new Land programs to be launched soon!
