The Bee Squad

Children around Australia are taking charge. Come and join the revolution.

From Dunsborough on the coast of Western Australia to Mount Druitt in Sydney, young people are discovering nature in their neighbourhoods, setting up nesting boxes for birds, planting to attract bees, butterflies and other species, and building insect hotels. They are learning about the amazing native species around them and finding ways to protect them.

The Bee Squad provides practical, positive and exciting adventures and projects to help our threatened species. 

• learn how to put together a nature sleuth toolkit
• record your flora and fauna sightings
• tips to ace your wildlife photography

The best part is, you don’t need to live near a national park or protected area to get involved – you can make a difference from your balcony, backyard, local park or school.

Age range 8 to 12
