People will be entertained by the Ulladulla Primary School drummers and the Milton Village Band, Hello Huey Coffee will keep you caffeinated and Clyde River Berry Ice creams will keep the kids happy.

There are over 50 picnics planned around the state.

This will not only be a fun day of getting outside with family and friends, but a wonderful opportunity to appreciate the natural beauty and biodiversity of your local area, plus a way to be part of something bigger.

People will have an opportunity to learn about the importance of our natural systems and ways you can help protect our precious environment, while connecting with your community.
