CRA Integral Ecology Committee Online Seminar Living Water: Launch of CRA Schools Wetland Challenge

  • Catholic Religious Australia Online Australia (map)

Join us to celebrate this year’s Season of Creation with an inspiring online seminar focusing on the theme Living Water, and launching the CRA Schools Wetland Challenge, an exciting national initiative of the CRA Integral Ecology Committee.

The CRA Schools Wetland Challenge invites schools across Australia to deepen their understanding of local wetlands and waterways, and to take practical action to care for and protect these vital ecosystems. Students will be encouraged to become citizen scientists and advocates for the natural places they love.

As part of the challenge, schools within the CRA community will be invited to “adopt a wetland” — any place where water is present — and learn how to observe, protect and celebrate these important environments.

This online launch event will feature inspiring presentations from Fiona Basile, award-winning photographer and story-teller, and Andrew Kelly, a passionate waterways advocate.

Come and discover how we can help nurture care for creation and inspire the next generation of environmental stewards.
