Join Parklands Rangers in our new stewardship program creating ecosystem resilience in the regional hills.

This program focuses on our regional Box Gum Grassy Woodlands - the endangered ecological community characterised by a diverse mix of species dominated by White Box, Yellow Box and Blakely's Red Gum trees. The vegetation of Baranduda Range is an excellent example of this community with a wide range of unique native plants flowering at this time of year.

The Ranger-led Box Gum Stewardship program offers a series of 2-hour hands-on sessions giving volunteers direct experience in restoring and enhancing our regional Box Gum woodlands.
