The Eucalyptus Eco-Poetry Project (EEPP) is a 'branch' of New Shoots created in collaboration with Bundanon Trust and Eucalpyt Australia. The project invites poets and students to emotionally and creatively connect with eucalyptus through a poetic lens. By uncovering the hidden stories and secrets of the iconic green giants we often take for granted, the EEPP enriches understanding of eucalypts at Bundanon Trust and beyond.
The poet-in-residence at Bundanon for the EEPP works with Bundanon Trust's environment and education teams to deliver eucalypt-inspired poetry workshops to local schools and community groups.
