Bruny Kids - Nature webpage project
By virtue of where they live the children of Bruny Island have access to some incredibly rich and diverse natural environments and Bruny kids often have a very strong connection to the natural world. We believe that this deserves to be celebrated and shared with children and families in order to inspire them to get outdoors and connect with Nature.
It will also help improve digital literacy, by providing an authentic and safe online platform to share stories, events, things to do and articles about kids connecting with, learning about and experiencing the joy of Nature.
The Bruny Kids webpage project will be coordinated by Bruny Island teacher, Claire Boost. Claire runs Bush Lil (a Launching into Learning Program for children aged 0-4), and is helping to establish an Outdoor Classroom at Bruny Island District School. Claire will be working with teachers, parents and community groups on Bruny Island to gather material for the Bruny Kids webpage. Claire Gorman (of Liquid Pictures and Cloudy Bay Supergroms) will also be involved taking photos, footage and supporting editing of the site. The project will feature on the Kuno Earth website and be supported by the Kuno Foundation. Kuno is led by Dr Phill Pullinger and aims to foster connection, understanding and stewardship of the natural world.

Life on Earth fund
The challenge is to dream big for the future of life on Earth, to build ambitious landscape scale thinking for the conservation of Nature, and to back this with mapping, science, and a strategic program of small, medium and larger long-term grants targeted at the most effective local groups to build their capacity to deliver.
Nature Networks Program
The problem is that groups often act in isolation, meaning there is huge potential impact that is unmet. The solution is to provide a “Collective Impact” backbone support role for Nature networks regionally, globally and on specific issues. This is starting small focussing on the ‘Saving Nature 101’ task of networking and building capacity for the most effective existing groups in pilot regions and assisting them with presenting Nature’s needs and stories beautifully.
Conservation Stories Program
The conservation stories program focuses on providing practical support, skills, training and expert help to these local people and groups to present their place or issue and their conservation work well.
