Manningham’s bushland is vital to the area’s character, health and identity, and is a haven for numerous native species. It provides a beautiful area for walking and being with nature. However, only a third of Manningham’s bushland remains, with the habitat quality reduced to a thin cover of eucalyptus trees. We are working hard to re-plant grasses and shrubs to improve habitat for the many native wildlife species that live in Manningham, such as koalas, echidnas and wombats.
Focus areas:
- maintain and where possible, restore ecological processes
- manage and minimise threatening processes
- improve habitat
- protect threatened species.
