Create healthy habitat at your school

Want to improve the health of native habitat at your school? We can help.

The NQ Dry Tropics' Healthy Habitat for Schools program works with the whole school community to enhance native vegetation, reduce invasive species, attract native wildlife and teach students about biodiversity.

Our program can help your school fulfill the requirements of the Queensland Sustainable Schools, School Environment Management Plan (SEMP) focus area: Management of Schools Grounds Including Biodiversity.

We can provide you with information, connect you with experts, and help to ensure that your school and students have the resources they need to help manage our local natural resources into the future.
