The Discover our forests program will create more opportunities for people from all backgrounds to experience state forests and enjoy the outdoors.
Outdoors Victoria and the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action are working together to support people who may face barriers to participating in outdoor recreation. This includes:
- people from cultural and linguistically diverse backgrounds
- people with a disability
- people with mental health challenges
- adults over 65 years of age
- individuals who may face gender-related barriers to participation.
Discover our forests has engaged Licensed Tour Operators to host supported days out in state forests for community groups to try activities such as bushwalking, mountain biking, nature education and bush skills, orienteering and more.
The program is designed to create opportunities that educate and enable people to better connect with the forest through outdoor recreation. The program will run until June 2025.
