Landcare and Waste Warriors
Junior Landcare is an environmental and gardening program which is available for Yeppoon State School students to assist in caring for our school's gardens and enhancing the school grounds.
Yeppoon State School is the birthplace of Junior Landcare. Mr Alby Wooler, the Capricorn Coast Junior Landcare co-ordinator commenced Junior Landcare at the school in 1996. Please view Alby Wooler Mr Landcare to find out more information on Junior Landcare and Mr Wooler.
Junior Landcare is overseen by our groundsman, a senior landcarer and volunteer teachers.
When: Thursdays, 1st break at 11.15 am.
Where: meet at the gazebo at the end of I Block.
Who: students from year 2 to year 6 who are interested in looking after our school grounds and environment.
What we do: tree planting, upkeep of gardens, water, mulch and weed. We participate in Weedbuster week, clean up Australia Day and Reef Guardian exercises.
In the past years the Landcare group have planned and developed the learnscape path, the environmental trail, planted new gardens and began the bush tucker garden. We have had a worm farm, developed a composter and crushed cans.
Junior Landcare appreciates gardening donations of plant cuttings, seedlings, plant trays, pots and gardening tools and trowels.
