Collaborative sustainable art and learning

Natural Learning Centre has initiated a whole region collaborative art project to be displayed at the upcoming Margaret River and Districts Agricultural Show on October 19, 2019…with several schools in the Margaret River area taking part in collecting sea debris to fill repurposed octopus legs (made from vegetable netting)… while learning about the importance of taking care of our ocean environments in the process.

Many of the following photos were taken at a recent Margaret River Montessori School camp at Geographe Bay…with all rubbish carefully taken off the beach for sorting and recording and the many natural treasures found left on the beach.

Special thanks so Kirsty Szandtner for her donation of time and expertise in sewing our ‘octopus body parts’ and to the teachers from the Montessori School who kindly shared some of their photographs from their recent beach clean up day.

We’ll post more in the weeks ahead and look forward to sharing our completed collaborative art sculpture : )
