First launched in 1998, Eurobodalla's environmental calendar is a creative platform for students and a source of environmental inspiration. The theme for 2027 is "Responsible Pet Ownership to Protect Our Local Wildlife."

• How it works: Each year, local grade 4 students learn about a different environmental theme and create an artwork to represent that theme. From these artworks, our judging panel selects 12 finalists for the following year's calendar.
• How to get involved: Collect your free calendar from Eurobodalla libraries and Council's admin building in Moruya. Display your calendar on the fridge, at work, or even on the toilet door so these messages are seen, remembered, and shared all year long by students, families, and residents across Eurobodalla.

Run twice a year at Narooma Wharf, this program lets people see a broad range of animals they don’t often get to see.

• How it works: Divers collect critters and bring them into touch tanks on the surface. Often critters like Nudibranchs, Brittle stars and crabs.
• How to get involved: Keep an eye on our events calendar, we usually run 'What's under the wharf' in the warmer months.

'What’s under the wharf' is a partnership between Nature Coast Marine Group, Eurobodalla Shire Council and Batemans Marine Park.
