Nature classes in the outdoors

VICTORIAN Deputy Premier James Merlino last Saturday officially opened the Outdoor Classroom at the Yellingbo Nature Conservation Reserve. Designed as an education space for primary school-aged children, the amphitheatre-style design will be a welcome addition to the region. Interestingly, the finished product was built partly out of rubbish collected from around the region. The Outdoor Classroom was made possible from both a government grant and the work of the Friends of the Helmeted Honeyeater community group. About 50 people attended the opening.
