Experiential Education with The Forktree Project

Hands-on learning. Real-world impact.

Our Approach

Learning by Doing

A core part of The Forktree Project’s mission is to educate young people about the importance of biodiversity and habitat restoration — and about how sustainable choices help shape a healthier future for our planet.

Our Education Program is grounded in a passionate belief in the power of genuine, hands‑on learning. By actively participating in habitat restoration, students gain a deeper understanding of the climate and biodiversity crises — and discover that they can be part of the solution.

Curriculum

Aligned With Curriculum and Wellbeing

The Forktree Project welcomes both primary and secondary schools for day excursions, overnight camping experiences and extended programs.

We work closely with schools to ensure every Forktree visit supports key learning objectives and wellbeing priorities. Programs can be tailored to connect with:

  • Australian Curriculum learning areas and General Capabilities
  • SACE capabilities and subject goals
  • IB Primary, Middle and Diploma Program frameworks
  • School-specific wellbeing priorities

All programs are accompanied by a bespoke online program designed to extend learning in the target curriculum area and ensure that students’ Forktree experience has lasting impact.
