tural landscape of Central Western NSW that is traditionally home to the Wiradjuri people. More recently the local landscape has been employed in broad acre stock and crop farming to sustain Australia’s food requirements. These are also considered natural/cultural assets

WEEC has no enrolments, but accepts bookings K-12, providing best practice programs supporting many key learning areas, student welfare and support within the context of Environmental and Sustainability Education. WEEC provides high quality fieldwork and environmental and sustainability education to students from the local area as well as outreach programs to those students in many rural and remote areas of Western NSW and beyond.. Programs immerse students in both the minutiae and the broader physical and cultural aspects of the local landscape. WEEC aims to develop an awareness of stepping beyond the unspoken or intrinsic environmental values embedded in its programs to promote conscious professional development for visiting teachers and positive behaviour change for students and school communities. WEEC also delivers professional learning opportunities for teaching staff via centre programs, collaborative opportunities with other local agencies and opportunities for schools to book the centre for their staff development days.
