Branching Out: The history, plants and animals of Red Hill Nature Reserve walk

Discover the rich natural and cultural history of Red Hill on this guided walk with local conservationist and ecologist Michael Mulvaney.

Red Hill contains the second largest area of critically endangered Yellow Box–Blakely’s Red Gum Grassy Woodland ecological community in the ACT, and forms part of one of Australia’s largest connected and biodiverse woodland landscapes. The area provides habitat for many vulnerable and endangered plant and animal species and holds deep cultural and environmental significance.

Michael has spent more than 40 years helping to conserve and protect Red Hill through his work with the Red Hill Regenerators. Drawing on decades of observation, restoration work and connection to place, he will share stories of the landscape’s ecology, history, plants, wildlife and ongoing conservation efforts with us.

Enjoy lunch before the walk - or join us for a coffee/afternoon tea and chat while we admire the views after the walk.
