Bush Skills for the Hills

Bush Skills for the Hills (BSFTH) is a series of free, hills-focussed workshops for the community. The workshops are a refreshing mix of information and practical hands-on sessions designed to give participants both the why and how of managing land, bush and creeks in the hills environment. 2018 BSFTH Workshops Program

Workshops are often run in conjunction with the Bush Skills 4 Youth (BS4Y) program.

Bush Skills 4 Youth

Bush Skills 4 Youth (BS4Y) program is supported by funding from the EMRC and Western Australian Government’s State NRM Program.

The program aims to provide young people with opportunities to:

develop an awareness and appreciation of their local natural environment
develop skills on how to preserve their local natural environment
become environmental stewards into the future.

Each year a series of free workshops are conducted in bush areas throughout the Eastern Metropolitan Region. Workshops with schools and youth groups take place during the term with community workshops in the holidays.
