Wild Mountains Environmental Education Centre

Inspiring - Educating - Conserving

Wild Mountains Environmental Education Centre is a leader in Earth Education and Training, delivering meaningful education in a purpose-built centre and providing our community with tools for a positive future.

Visit us and learn how to lead a more earth-centred way of living in our world, discover the beauty in the mountains and deepen your connection with nature.

As well as offering education programs for both adults and children, our venue is also a wonderful event space for conferences and retreats for businesses and groups that align with our philosophy of living lightly on the earth. We have many volunteer opportunities and events for you to visit us and enjoy time in nature here at Wild Mountains.

Whether you are coming with a school, family or just yourself, visiting for a program, a retreat or as a volunteer, we will be happy to help you plan your trip. Reach out today via email info@wildmountains.org.

School Programs

Our camp and school based programs aim to help students rediscover the magic of life itself. Courses provide basic ecological knowledge and critical thinking skills necessary for decisions ahead. The Earthkeepers program is aimed at 10 - 12 year olds and Shapers of Tomorrow is aimed at Secondary school aged students.

Kids of the Earth, is an online program for 9 - 16 year olds, a fun exploration of living on an interconnected and changing planet.

“It is a teacherʼs dream to be able to present lessons like this and see the faces light up as the message hits home. I highly recommend this program to any other schools and I plan to bring many classes back.” - Lisa Maloney teacher Boronia Heights.

Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteering is a meaningful way of becoming involved at Wild Mountains and without the many volunteers over the years we wouldn’t be where we are today. You can join us for one of our monthly Volunteer Weekends (VWs) or our newest land care project Next Gen Regen. Both are great opportunities to be introduced to sustainable living practices and living more lightly on the planet. We look forward to seeing you at one of these weekends soon!
