Students become Woodland Warriors as they explore, investigate and communicate the features and characteristics of the protected Cumberland Plain Woodland. They will collect data, discover human influences on the woodland, and complete a mapping exercise. They will also engage in a stakeholder roleplay to present their arguments on the use of fire to manage the woodland.
