Empowering the Next Generation of urban citizens with eco-literacy, leadership & entrepreneurship skills.
For young Australians, knowing how to make sense of global issues like climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution can be super hard. Where do you even start?!
Two Bays is a fresh and innovative environmental education program that helps activate young people in their own backyard. We mix digital technology with outdoor experiences so that ecological knowledge can be shared across generations for a better, more resilient future.
Together - young people, educators, employers and decision-makers – let's transform #EcoAnxiety2Action!

PODCAST
Two Bays podcast...
Learning to see Nature as a stakeholder
This a ‘shout out’ to the ecosystems upon which all businesses around the Planet depend. We’re just starting in our own backyard!
Regeneration Projects is a small business that that depends upon Melbourne’s two great Bays – Port Phillip and Western Port, which are known to Kulin First Peoples as Nairm and Warn Marin / Marin Biik – as well as the Birrarung / Yarra River.
The podcast is co-hosted by workmates Matt Sykes (the Aussie founder of Regeneration Projects) and Claire Wild (a Kiwi colleague), and explores stories of leaders who inspire hope in the face of the Planetary Crisis.
