FOBSW Activities

  • Bush Forever

    This continuation area of 126 hectares includes the Brixton Street Wetlands and extends north-east as far as Welshpool Road and Tonkin Hwy. This area is protected as a Bush Forever Site.

  • Eco Surveys

    Fauna and flora surveys are conducted regularly by both the friends and professionals who meet our conservation values to identify threatened ecological communities and rare species.

  • Maintenance

    To help preserve this fragile environment, we convene regularly to help maintain the bushland. As well as planting and weeding, we also clear any damage caused by harsh weather and general waste.
