East Gippsland Water's Manager of Customers, Mathew Scott, said, "Explore your Backyard will focus on water efficiency and exploring nature in our local area - whether that is a waterway, vegie patch or a garden."
"The activities and events have been designed to suit a range of ages, interests, topics and learning goals and can be accessed from the comfort of the home or classrooms. Most importantly, we hope participants have a bit of fun, learn something new and enjoy exploring their backyard." Mr Mathew Scott said.
