The Springbrook Forest Study is a day program in which year nine students do a walk in Springbrook National Park and learn about how geology, biology, and conservation are linked together as they take a journey back in time to explore the history of the Tweed Volcano and the process of weathering and erosion over millions of years. Students visit a variety of forest types, learn about rock and soil types and some of the human impacts on the landscape.
