AABRFest 2023

Get ready to mark your calendars because the Australian Association of Bush Regenerators is back with another experiential gathering – AABR Fest: The Return of the Regenerators! Happening from Friday May 24th – Sunday 26th at the picturesque Kariong Scout Camp, this event promises to be a haven for bush regenerators and enthusiasts of ecological restoration alike.

AABR Fest isn’t just an event; it’s a vibrant, family friendly community gathering where participants can immerse themselves in learning, networking, and reconnecting with fellow stewards of the land. This gathering offers a unique opportunity to rejuvenate both mind and spirit.

Since its establishment in 1986, AABR has been at the forefront of promoting excellence in ecological restoration throughout Australia. AABR Fest embodies this dedication by offering a diverse range of activities, from engaging presentations to immersive workshops. Attendees will have the chance to learn from the wisdom of the AABR Board and members, participate in workshops to sharpen your flora and fauna identification skills, and share and celebrate with music, laughter and performances.

But the learning doesn’t stop there. Participants can also gain hands-on experience with bush foods, and local soils and geology. And what’s a gathering without some captivating conversations? Gather around the campfire with the founders and friends of AABR for an evening of inspiring dialogue under the stars, trivia to test your knowledge and song session to power up the creativity.

Amidst all the activities, don’t forget to take in the natural wonders surrounding AABR Fest. Kariong Scout Camp offers a sanctuary for nature-lovers. Wake up to the symphony of birdlife, meander through serene forest trails, and keep your eyes peeled for glimpses of wildlife and diverse flora and enjoy sunset beers at the waterfall.

Join us for AABR Fest2 – The Return of the Regenerators and be part of the ongoing journey towards ecological restoration. Let’s come together to celebrate, learn, get creative and continue the vital work of regenerating our precious natural habitats. See you there!
