Abstract:

Watch young children at play. With bright eyes and boundless energy, they rush like whirlwinds from place to place, accompanied by a constant stream of excited chatter as they explore their surroundings with a wholehearted zest for life.

This article grows out of a fascination for the innate learning style of children and the wonder created by a unique and diverse wetlands setting. It explores how a group of educators, from Jacobs Well Field Study Centre (in south-east Queensland), developed an arts-aesthetic approach to environmental education as a joint project with the staff of Numinbah Valley Field Study Centre. ‘Project Ozone’ and the Boat Project are described as examples of what can be achieved by insight, and commitment to new directions in environmental education.
