Geelong Nature Festival 2025 Explore and Restore
We are excited to announce the fourth Geelong Nature Festival 2025 Explore and Restore, which will take place from 12 July to 27 July 2025 across the municipality.
The festival is a partnership between the City and the Geelong Field Naturalists Club with support from Bellarine Catchment Network, the School of Lost Arts and our many dedicated community nature volunteer groups.
The festival offers a wonderful opportunity for the community
to discover the amazing biodiversity we have around us, and to act for nature
by participating in one of the many scheduled restoration activities.
This
family friendly event is packed full of nature-based activities around our
themes of Explore - including wildlife attractions, guest speakers,
practical demonstrations, group displays and nature walks and Restore - including planting and habitat restoration opportunities.
The festival runs for two weeks and is jampacked with
over 50 events across the region, offering an array of activities from garden
and sanctuary tours to nature play sessions, workshops, restoration plantings and celebrations of
Geelong’s more unusual wildlife. Book your ticket in the links below.
This year’s school environmental arts project, Explore
and Restore, involving primary schools across Geelong, will be displayed at
the Carousel at the Waterfront throughout the festival.
The festival concludes on National Tree Day,
Sunday 27 July at seven locations across the City. Book your ticket in the links below.
