With the shortest day of the year the Winter solstice now behind us, it's time to celebrate and prepare for the warmer months ahead. If you feel like combining a holiday with conservation, check out our upcoming expeditions. Exotic destinations, day expeditions, life changing experiences - there's a range of expeditions to suit all ages and fitness levels.

There are still places on Turtles in Trouble on the 19th August and we urgently need more, so please call 03 9682 6828 to book. Australia's Vanishing Frogs family weekend also has some places available.

Or if you'd like to know more about Earthwatch and see the aquarium for just $5, register for our Science in the Dark information evenings.

Warm regards,

Richard Gilmore,
Executive Director, Earthwatch Australia
