About The Green Hour
The Green Hour was created from a simple belief.
​
Time in nature restores balance.
In a world that moves quickly and demands constant attention, many of us are feeling stretched, distracted, and disconnected. Children are growing up with less unstructured outdoor time. Adults are navigating pressure, digital overload, and constant noise. Communities are craving meaningful connection.
The Green Hour exists to offer something steady.
Founded in Mount Martha on the Mornington Peninsula, The Green Hour creates structured nature based wellbeing experiences that reconnect people to themselves, their community, and the land around them. Our programs blend wellbeing science, education, local ecology, and community connection into intentional outdoor sessions that ground the nervous system and build resilience.
This is not just time outside.
It is guided, purposeful, and place based.
We work with schools, community groups, workplaces, families, caregivers, and individuals to design experiences that meet people where they are. From project based school terms to small group sessions and personalised guidance, The Green Hour creates space for people to unplug, play, and return to balance.
​
The Green Hour operates as a social enterprise. A portion of our work is reinvested back into the schools, reserves, and environments in which we hold our activities. We believe that care should flow both ways. As we gather and grow in these spaces, we contribute to their regeneration and long term sustainability.
At its heart, The Green Hour is about belonging. Belonging to place. Belonging to community. Belonging to yourself. And it begins outdoors.
