The Eucalyptus Eco-Poetry Project (EEPP) is a 'branch' of New Shoots created in collaboration with Bundanon and Eucalypt Australia. The project invites poets and students to emotionally and creatively connect with eucalyptus through a poetic lens. By uncovering the hidden stories and secrets of the iconic green giants we often take for granted, the EEPP enriches understanding of eucalypts at Bundanon Trust and beyond.

On 24 March, students from Shoalhaven High School spent the day with poet-in-residence Kirli Saunders. Kirli worked with Bundanon’s environment and education teams to deliver eucalypt-inspired poetry workshops that creatively connect students with country and culture.

This project is the educational branch of New Shoots - Poetry inspired by plants.
