About us
We are a group of Masters' candidates from Macquarie University. The World Parks Congress, Sydney, November 2014 was an opportunity for us to identify and present examples of ways in which young people can be inspired to visit nature and to act as stewards for nature. The case studies showcased on this webpage have all been selected for their effectiveness at doing this, so that it may inspire other people in their own efforts to engage youth with nature.
