Home School Program:

Habitat Heroes

The Byron Bay Wildlife Sanctuary’s Home-school Program provides an opportunity for an immersive learning experience about Australia’s wildlife and how we can conserve it. The program covers a wide variety of topics over 7 weeks.

All sessions are run by experienced conservationists and wildlife ambassadors who are highly trained in wildlife education. We are passionate about the conservation of Australian wildlife, landscapes and indigenous knowledge, our hands-on Home-school Program is indicative of this.
