The 7x7 is a feature event of the Nature Festival supported by Nature Foundation.

Seven expert speakers will each present a seven-minute talk with a connection to FLOW in nature, with themes dipping into science, arts and culture.

Founded in 2019, Nature Foundation's Artist Residency Program offers artists with a professional profile the opportunity to spend up to two weeks at either Witchelina or Hiltaba Nature Reserves.

Nature’s Foundations 4 features the work of the three recipients of Nature Foundation Artist Residency Program: Kirrily Anderson, Catherine Bourn and Josephine Lennon. Each artist interprets and expresses how the environment of remote Australia has influenced and inspired them during each of their residencies.

Join us for a morning of nature and art where both little and big kids (aka grown-ups) will create their own nature-inspired artwork, expertly led by nature-loving artist, Julia Blanka, from The Beach Studio.

Blending well with this year’s Nature Festival theme of ‘Flow’, this hands-on, no-pressure art session will step you through the process of creating your own watercolour artwork based on a landscape scene from one of Nature Foundation’s wetland nature reserves.

Birds & Bingo is back for its third season at Nature Festival, with even more birds, and more bingo!

The premise is relatively straightforward: enjoy a fun and educational afternoon of bird-themed bingo, hosted by bingo-master and bird-enthusiast, Sputnik, interspersed with conversations with a couple of bird-nerd ecologists to learn more about our native bird species, and the research and conservation work involved in supporting them.

Since 2000, Nature Foundation has awarded $1,974,786 in research grants to postgraduate students, academics, and the community to kick-start research careers, supporting 464 students.

Jack Bilby and Rebecca Greening are multi-year recipients of Nature Foundation's student research grants program, with funding supporting their important research projects that further nature science understanding and outcomes.

Join host Dr Lucy Clive, Nature Foundation's Science and Knowledge Program Officer, to learn more about Jack and Rebecca's research projects and the findings providing important outcomes for nature science and conservation.
