Ignite a love of nature through play

Big Scrub is a small forest school nestled among the trees of Noosa Botanic Gardens, where play becomes an opportunity to cultivate compassion, kindness and awareness.​

Outdoors we don’t just have fun; we learn about respect, empathy, kindness and living in harmony. Our vision is to support children, families and communities reconnect with nature through play, simple mindfulness practices and storytelling.
