About this episode
What if the best classroom didn’t have walls at all?
In this episode of Particle Word for Word, we head to Turtle Camp a hands-on conservation program blending science, culture, and connection to Country. Written and read by Cat Williams, this story explores how kids in the Pilbra are learning to track turtles, monitor nests, and care for their environment in ways rooted in thousands of years of knowledge.
It’s not just about turtles. It’s about identity. Pride. And showing the next generation that they already belong.
