Finding Melbourne’s Nature is a walking conversation series exploring the wild places within the city. Ecologist Ben Cullen walks through reserves, wetlands and remnant bushland across Melbourne/Naarm with Traditional Owners, First Nations voices, conservationists, scientists and community members, each choosing a place that matters to them. Together they walk and talk about what lives there, what’s changed, what needs protecting, and their own journey in learning about and caring for nature. You’ll hear footsteps on tracks, birds overhead, wind in the trees, and the city never too far away.
