Nature Passport
In partnership with Nature Play WA and participating councils, we have created our very first Western Suburbs Nature Passport so you can explore the outdoors, right on your doorstep.
With seven different activity locations within the booklet, all found along the Whadjuk Walking Trail, the Nature Passport encourages children and families to play, create, imagine and look closer at the natural locations of the western suburbs.
The new Nature Passport can be downloaded to your device so you have it ready for all your adventures. To discover a range of new activities for all ages and weather, use the Nature Passport App and get started right away!
Make your own scavenger hunt, match the feathers to the birds, or create a leaf rubbing with a beautiful piece of art from nature. There are hundreds of activities to get creative with.
