Environmental Education Centre

Environmental education in Gauteng means working with the landscape you actually have—veld, water systems, and the seasonal weather patterns that define the year. The Environmental Education Centre operates within these constraints and opportunities: leading school groups through hands-on learning about indigenous plants, water management, and the ecology of the Highveld itself. The work involves managing outdoor learning spaces, coordinating with curriculum requirements across different schools, and adapting programmes when load shedding or seasonal flooding disrupts scheduling. Practical environmental learning requires space to walk, observe, and experiment, which shapes everything from how groups are sized to when field visits happen.
