For Schools
The Flora for Fauna website is a great web site for schools to use throughout Australia.
Teachers can work with their students to
develop plans for wildlife habitats in their
school grounds. Students can easily create
Flora for Fauna Garden Plans and then
print and use them to guide school ground
plantings.
There's plenty of information on Australian
plants and animals, making the Flora for
Fauna web site an excellent classroom resource.
This website was developed for the Flora for Fauna Program by the Gould League. The
Gould League has also developed the award winning Wildscape web site a pilot program for Victorian
Schools.
