Phillip IslandNature ParksKinder – Year 2 Education Programs
Our mission is:
To develop a greater understanding of the natural environment through exploration, investigation and hands on activities.
Phillip Island Nature Parks is a self-funded organisation dedicated to the conservation of Phillip Island’s wildlife and natural features.
Rangers undertake talks, walks and hands on activities which provide an enhanced understanding of Phillip Island’s diverse natural systems.
Our structured education programs promote lifelong learning and are linked with the Early Years Learning Framework, AusVELS and the national curriculum.
Activities are presented by rangers who are nationally accreditied eco-guides with level 2 first aid qualifications. Our rangers hold current Working with Children Checks or are registered teachers.
All activities require participants to have closed shoes and sun protection.

We acknowledge the land’s traditional owners past and present, the Boon wurrung people.
