The centre serves all NSW Department of Education schools and non-government schools across the central west and north west of NSW and beyond. Situated within spectacular Warrumbungle National Park, the centre conducts fieldwork at a variety of sites, each offering unique natural and cultural significance.
Programs are delivered by qualified, highly experienced Department of Education teachers, both in the field and at schools. The centre has access to a diverse range of unique environments, and can offer an extensive suite of curriculum-based environmental education programs for students from Kindergarten to Year 12.
The education centre staff are committed to providing hands-on integrated learning experiences, tailored to meet the specific needs of each visiting group. They run high-quality excursions and incursions, all closely aligned with syllabus outcomes, and inspire students through authentic environmental learning.

Conservation program:
Warrumbungle National Park after-fire program
The 2013 bushfires were the largest and most intense on record for Warrumbungle National Park. Almost 90 per cent of the park was burnt, but conservation programs and research have helped us better understand the impact of fire and how the park has recovered.
