TOURS and historical exhibitions will be part of this weekend’s Kooyoora Spring Festival in Rheola.
The two-day event organised by Friends of Kooyoora will also feature displays by Parks Victoria and Djarra.
Organiser Rob Scholes said numbers were limited for the tours and pre-bookings should be made.
The festival comes as the State Government announced the group would receive a Volunteering Innovation Fund grant to produce a flora field guide which considers how the young mind operates and is educational, engaging and entertaining.
MP Jaala Pulford said: “Unlike traditional field guides, presented in a ridged scientific format, this guide will be designed to engage ones basic senses. Simple and fun to use, it will be interactive, informative and educational.
“The guide will be developed in collaboration with volunteers, field experts, and Traditional Owners and be a free resource to the public, groups, agencies and institutions, targeting the younger generation.”
