Love for our eco play experiences
"We absolutely loved the playgroup. My son keeps asking to go back!
The set up was so great., perfect amount of time and the little tray of seeds has been wonderful to watch grow.
Thank you so much for organising it.
We are looking forward to going again at the end of November.."
Parent, Eco Playgroup
"Sally has pioneered innovative eco-play workshops, partnering with organisations like the Coal Loader Centre and Mosman Council to inspire young minds.
Sally's exceptional dedication, commitment to empowering her community, and creative approaches to environmental engagement make her a standout candidate for the Highly Commended Prize for the NSW Emerging Leader in Environmental Education Award."

"Be the Future have run two fantastic workshop series at the Coal Loader. Sessions are engaging, creative and colourful, and Sally is an excellent partner to work with.
She tailored her program to our needs and the feedback from participants (both littlies and their big people!) has been very positive.
I would recommend Sally and Be the Future to anyone looking to engage an educator with warmth, creativity and professionalism."
Leonie Netting, The Coal Loader Centre for Sustainability
Upcoming sessions
We’re excited to partner with The Coal Loader Centre for Sustainability, Mosman Council and Willoughby City Council in Sydney, Australia to run sustainably themed fun activities for kids (and their parents!). All workshops are complimentary, and each child must be accompanied by an adult.
