Talking Tree Hill

We are re-imagining education with whole-istic events programmes and research for kids & educators! Why Us?

We are dedicated to making a difference to childrens’ lives and their planet! All children are created differently and we celebrate and nourish this. Talking Tree Hill is the engine room for research and development of creativity, nature education and innovation for children’s mind and body health. Papatuanuku is our first teacher, so we must respect and connect to her before we need to protect he

r. We foster the authenticity and curiosity of all children through outdoor and ‘real green learning’ experiences.
