Connect with Nature events calendar
What is Connect with Nature?
Connect with Nature is the new activities and events program run by the Department of Environment and Resource Management (DERM).
The program takes over from the Go Bush nature-based recreation program, which has been delivered in south-east Queensland for the past 25 years. It now encompasses a broad range of activities run by Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service representatives throughout the State, including events, holiday activity programs for families and children, ranger patrols, and environmental education for school groups.

Why join in?
Connect with Nature will inspire an appreciation of Queensland’s natural and cultural heritage through activities that foster a sense of connection, understanding and appreciation for natural areas.
A wide range of activities are offered on and off-park for adults, children and families to discover the wonders of the natural world right on their doorstep.
