Enjoy a quiet relaxing walk in Westerfolds Park, one of Melbourne’s most popular urban open spaces, that offers over 120 hectares of recreational and environmental parkland.
Grassy Woodlands with River Red Gum and Manna Gums are found in small patches of the park. This park is a haven for some of our most charismatic native wildlife, including Eastern Grey Kangaroos, which are often seen in open grasslands. Quiet walkers might even spot some wombats, sugar gliders, possums, echidnas. Spot the diverse birdlife as you wander through the park, and keep an eye out for the rare Swift Parrot. The Swift Parrot plays a significant role in controlling populations of insects that feast on the leaves of the native trees. Powerful Owls have also been seen here.
We will be following the Homestead Trail which takes a human-centric approach to various places that local wildlife might live.
After the walk we hope you will be able to join us for snacks, a cuppa and a chat.
