sharing planet earth

An early years journey towards environmental awareness and action.

The Sharing Planet Earth program has been created for Australian Early Years and Primary educators, to build the knowledge and confidence to engage children in native wildlife conservation. This free downloadable resource contains:

• Sharing Planet Earth Book - 15 action projects that reach beyond classroom learning and introduce children to some of the ways they can help to preserve and protect local native species.

• Sweet Little Gliders - A Green Heroes Rescue Story - a simple picture book based on the rescue and rehabilitation of two sugar gliders, to support literacy and literature development.

• Collect for Carers Toolkit - practical guide to organising collections and fundraisers for wildlife organisations.

• EYLF Curriculum Links

• Australian National Curriculum Links (Foundation to Year 2)

Green Heroes Resources - educational supplies and other resources to complement the program can be purchased from the Green Heroes store. Printed copies of the Sharing Planet Earth Book and Sweet Little Gliders Rescue Story are also available.

Green Heroes is an Australian registered charity which aims to connect children and youth with the natural world and engage them in conservation action. Kindness towards all living things is at the core of our philosophy. We believe that those who develop a loving relationship with the natural world in childhood and adolescence are more likely to demonstrate respectful and caring attitudes towards the environment throughout life.

These free resources have been created by Green Heroes with the generous support of the Animal Rescue Cooperative
