Tania Moloney

Nurture in Nature Australia
Founder
Melbourne, Australia

Tania Moloney is the Founder of Nurture in Nature Australia and she is passionate about helping families connect with nature and with each other. As a dairy farmers daughter, her childhood was filled with opportunities for outdoor adventures and she made (and ate) LOTS of mud pies. She has a head and heart full of cherished childhood memories of family camping trips, building cubbies, sleeping under the stars and playing with sticks. Now with her own young family, she desperately wants those memories and experiences for her children too. As a result she has happily embraced that her kids will have perpetually dirty feet and her pockets/car/washing machine/handbag will be permanently filled with nature’s treasures. And she wouldn’t have it any other way!
