Resources for schools
There are more than 80 primary and secondary schools within the Murray region. Murray LLS believes working with school students is an important step to engage with future producers and consumers.
Murray LLS has a partnership with the Wirraminna Environmental Education Centre to deliver education programs across the region based around the areas of 'farming for our future', 'environment' and 'caring for our native plants and animals'.
