Youngsters with dreams of becoming a bush detective or birdwatcher can go behind the scenes at Serendip Sanctuary as part of a series of school holiday programs.
The free programs let kids become a park ranger for the day and search for animals by tracking paw marks, skulls and territorial markings.
They can also use binoculars to spot some of Victoria’s birds.
The bush detective program will run on April 8; behind the scenes on April 8, 9, 15 and 16; birdwatching on April 15; and a ‘mini-beast discovery’ experience on April 9 and 16. Bookings are essential and all children must be accompanied by an adult.
Serendip Sanctuary is at 100 Windermere Road, Lara.
