Peter Kelly

Our talented and entertaining Educational Facilitator Peter has a Melbourne University background in Botany, Ecology, Psychology and Horticulture.

Peter has taught in a variety of Secondary Schools – typically Biological Sciences but more recently with a focus on Sustainability. As an Education Officer at the Victorian Schools’ Nursery, Museum Victoria and The Royal Botanic Gardens, Peter’s approach broadened into educational experiences for students outside of the mainstream classroom setting.

A longtime local resident to Port Phillip and father to two vegetarian daughters, Peter delights in promoting our relationship and connectedness to the living world, both for the current and for future generations.

The EcoCentre acknowledges the Kulin Nations, including the Yalukut Weelam clan of the Boon Wurrung language group, traditional owners of the land on which we are located.

We pay respects to their Elders past and present, and extend that respect to other Aboriginal and Elder members of our multicultural community.
