Rumbalara Environmental Education Centre

Education Melbourne introduces Rumbalara Environmental Education Centre in Gosford, for all your education and learning needs.

The Centre aims to provide an effective service for the environmental education of students, teachers and the broader community. It is conveniently located in Rumbalara forest reserve, a few minutes walk from Gosford City. Facilities include an interpretive display, theatre, environmental resource library, field studies laboratory and ready access to a variety of natural, built and socio/cultural environments. These support the development and delivery of environmental education resources and field work programs. The field studies programs are also conducted at many other locations in the region, providing students with a comprehensive and relevant environmental education. In response to the high rate of population growth and rapid urbanisation in the region, the centre's programs focus on the skills, knowledge and attitudes required for sustainable management. We envisage that as a result of our services the community will be: more aware and appreciative of local, Australian and global environments; more knowledgeable about the causes of environmental problems; more skilled in communicating to environmental decision makers; and more actively involved in caring for the environment.
