This excursion supports a Geographical Inquiry approach to learning about the features of the home of the ‘Habitat Tree’ – a beautiful Grey Gum which is the oldest tree at Brewongle.
Nature is important for many reasons, both to people and to wildlife. The Habitat Tree is a beautiful Grey Gum, the oldest tree at Brewongle. Students explore the features of places around the Habitat Tree and the connections between the tree and its surrounds. They use Geographical Tools to understand the impact that seasons and people have on the natural environment around the Habitat Tree.
Maximum student numbers are 6 classes or 150 students.

This text is a fantastic stimulus for teacher-led literacy tasks in the lead-up to their excursion.
