City Hosts Free Nature Events for April School Break

The City of Greater Bendigo is holding a series of free events to highlight the region's natural environment and biodiversity during the April School Holidays.

City of Greater Bendigo Climate Change and Environment Manager Michelle Wyatt said the free events will both educate and entertain participants.

"Our region has a diversity of wildlife and the free sessions will help residents to learn about their unique characteristics and understand the importance of caring for the habitats they live in," Ms Wyatt said.

"In addition to the events there will also be a pop-up activation in Hargreaves Mall for children and families to learn about Bendigo's unique native plants and animals as well as ways to make your home more energy efficient from 11am to 2pm on Wednesday April 9.
