Scout Island Nature Centre

Scout Island Nature Centre is a sanctuary for the wild within an urban area. It is a place for nature education, reflection, experience, exploration, appreciation, and conservation. It is a place where we can all come to better know the natural world and the relationships and dependencies all people have with it. Scout Island Nature Centre provides an opportunity for every person, especially every child, to encounter nature, and in turn, to find the joy that being in nature offers. The Centre offers nature education courses and interpretation facilities as well as more than 3 km of walking trails through marsh, riparian, and upland habitats. For more than 40 years, the Nature Centre has been a place where people of all ages can enjoy and view native wildlife and plants.
