Wambangalang Environmental Education Centre

Wambangalang Environmental Education Centre (WEEC) provides an environmental education resource across western NSW. We work to empower learners to reconnect with, value and sustain our natural and cultural heritage. Working within a network of 26 Environmental and Zoo Education Centres (EZEC), we provide strong partnerships for a sustainable future. Wambangalang Environmental Education Centre (WEEC) is a Department of Education school located on the outskirts of Dubbo, within the broader natural and cultural landscape of Central Western NSW. The land is under the traditional custodianship of the Wiradjuri people. WEEC is set on 12.5ha and is a small dynamic school, within a travelling stock route reserve consisting of a regenerating endangered ecological community of box gum grassy woodland. Our programs aim to inspire young people to experience and connect with the natural world and encourage the development of positive behavioural changes towards its protection. Our school achieves this through the to provision of high quality experiential field work and environmental and sustainability education programs for K-12 school students at excursion locations including our school, Macquarie River, Macquarie Marshes, Turtle Rock or through incursion and outreach programs. The capacity of our teachers and those within our local schools as leaders in environmental education are developed through the provision of high expectations and high quality professional learning programs. Our school is built on a collaboration with partners including: EZEC, Office of Environment and Heritage, Dubbo City Council, Royal Botanic Gardens, AECG, in addition to our local and visiting school communities.
