Ms King said the facility was an asset to the local community.

“Our traditional owners, the Whadjuk people, have lived off this land for thousands of years, so it is pivotal for young people to learn and engage with this history,” she said.

“The Baldivis Children’s Forest facilitates these traditional teachings, as well as hands-on learning of geography, flora and fauna, and contemporary challenges such as climate change.”
