Enviro-Stories – From Gladstone to the World!

A group of Gladstone kids can now boast the title of “internationally-published authors” as they contributed to the creation of a new series of books, Habits for Habitat “Enviro-Stories.” The book series will serve as an educational resource distributed across libraries and schools in the Gladstone region, with additional copies being sent to Saiki, Gladstone’s Sister City in Japan.

Over a period of one year, educational workshops and wildlife discussions led by Jodi Jones from Gladstone Wildlife Carers Association and Iris Cosgrove from Conservation Volunteers Australia engaged 50 students from Boyne Island State School, St. John Baptist Primary School, and YarwunState School, enriching their educational narratives. Children attending Gladstone Regional Council’s Ecofest also had the opportunity to learn illustrative techniques from local First Nations artist Leslie Waraba Lister.
