"More than 150 South Australian kindergarten, primary and secondary schools are to participate in a new natural resources education program. Environment and Conservation Minister Jay Weatherill today launched the $800,000 project to be run by the State Government, through the Adelaide Mt Lofty Natural Resources Management Board, this year. Under the program, students will be growing native plants, tending to gardens, recycling, compositing, testing water quality and auditing energy and water use – activities that help tackle climate change and the effects on our natural environment."
