Let's have a picnic!

Picnic for Nature is back on the 19/20 October 2024.

Last year we had over 1,000 people at almost 50 simultaneous picnics across NSW! As well as being fun, the Picnic is a chance to bring nature lovers together to connect over the natural beauty and biodiversity of your local area, that nature is precious and needs protecting. 

This year the Picnic for Nature will be held over the weekend, allowing you and your group to pick the time, date and activity that works best for you. Each Picnic is hosted and designed by local groups and networks, so is unique to the area and have different activities planned. It can be simple – BYO rugs and snacks, or include activities like tree planting, bush walks, nature games, celebrating a significant milestone for your group, the possibilities are endless. You can also link up with other local groups to host it together.

This statewide Picnic for Nature gives local groups the excuse they need to get outdoors to reconnect with nature and each other, to grow the movement, to protect nature and act on climate change. The NCC can help to promote your picnic and provide you with some resources (see below) that can assist you to organise and promote your local picnic.

Please fill in the details here to register your interest for 2024 and we will be in touch. We are hoping that those of you who hosted last year will host again and we look forward to welcoming first timers.
