Love letters to nature: a celebration of 60 years with ACF

Compose music with plants, explore interactive displays and learn about the wonders of nature, to celebrate the 60th birthday of the Australian Conservation Foundation.

The Australian Conservation Foundation invites you to a pop-up family-friendly party, to play, celebrate and reflect on the importance of our natural environment.

Explore interactive installations, where you can compose music with plants and write or draw your own personal messages to nature, contributing to an ever-expanding reflective artwork.

In the afternoons, you can hear from inspiring voices who care deeply about our environment or join in a drawing workshop with a local artist, to draw some of Australia’s unique and threatened species.

Across two days, the Atrium will become a welcoming space for all ages, to celebrate our living world together.
