Located in the Yarra Valley at Warburton, alongside the Yarra River and at the gateway to the Yarra Ranges National Park, NRCL Environment Discovery Centre has at its doorstep some of the most interesting old growth forest areas in Victoria, a diverse array of fauna, and a rich selection of fascinating natural settings in which to conduct our Environmental Education programs for Primary, Secondary and Tertiary students.

The Natural Resource Conservation League advocates sustainable management of forest ecosystems, provides experiential environmental education (recognising synecologies of plants, soil, water and wildlife), and administers the tax-deductible NRCL Tree Fund.

The 'Hands-on' Environment Discovery Centre at Warburton Waterwheel is open every day (except Public Holidays).

Our programs utilise this spectacular and unique location in the Yarra Ranges National Park. Visiting the Cement Creek Reserve and Forest Skywalk, pristine mountain creeks and exploring different forest types is a most rewarding learning experience.

NRCL excursions promote the importance of sustainable utilisation of natural resources, and provide hands-on encounters with plants, soil, water, and wildlife.

Exploring dry forest, rainforest, and pristine mountain streams highlights crucial values of forest biology, ecology and sustainability.

Location: The Natural Resources Conservation League Environment Education Centre is located at the Warburton Waterwheel, Warburton Hwy, Warburton, approximately 25 minutes drive from The Country Place.
