Toohey Forest Environmental Education Centre

School children participating in an educational program.

The Toohey Forest Environmental Education Centre is a collaborative venture between Griffith University and Education Queensland. It runs a rich and comprehensive range of school-oriented environmental educational programs. The Toohey Forest Environmental Education Centre promotes and supports environmental education through learning experiences designed for students, teachers and schools. These programs provide multi-disciplinary experiences that:

  • Develop students' environmental appreciation and awareness, and offer skills for solving environmental problems
  • Develop positive environmental attitudes and values that assist your students to evaluate the consequences of their lifestyles and behaviour towards the environment
  • Can be collaboratively designed to ensure alignment with the classroom curriculum
  • Can be provided at the EcoCentre, Toohey Forest or a range of other sites

In addition to providing learning experiences, Toohey Forest Environmental Education Centre staff can also provide a range of resources, professional support and advice for teaching staff and schools wishing to enhance environmental education in their classroom or school.

Please contact the Toohey Forest Environmental Education Centre for a full listing of programs, services, and booking arrangements.
