Welcome to the Local Education Network for Sustainability – we are a part of the Wodonga Landcare Network.
New name: renewed focus
WULN is pleased to announce a special education focused project for 2017, funded by the Victorian Government through the Victorian Landcare Programme. We will be taking a snapshot of opportunities to link Landcare and Sustainability programs and events in Albury-Wodonga with educational programs, developing Pathways to Landcare for educators from pre-school all the way to University.
Meanwhile our Sustainability Ed area has had a name change from WLSEN to LENS – the reshuffle simply being much easier on the tongue!
We look forward to connecting with you in 2017, to discuss your needs and opportunities.
