Kimberley Toad Busters and Kimberley Wildlife Rescue are able to provide supporting educational material for classroom activities on Kimberley Biodiversity, What’s in Your Backyard?, Cane Toads and Wildlife First Aid. We will be visiting schools to raise awareness of the competitions, the Forum and hear feedback regarding suitable photographic equipment for prizes.

Please register interest by email: kimberleytoadbusters@canetoads.com.au. We will be providing entry forms and education packages shortly to interested parties.

We are greatly excited by the potential of Kimberley students, and look forward to hearing from all teachers and students.
