About Us
What we do
The FDP works to protect, improve and advocate for the bushland character of the park, maintaining it as a wildlife haven and place to appreciate nature
Our activities include:
- Controlling and – where possible – eradicating introduced species, via activities such as hand weeding
- Restoration and enhancement works to promote biodiversity and catchment health
- Encouraging and re-introducing endemic or other environmentally appropriate species
- Controlling pollutants in the Parklands, via activities such as litter collection
- Advocating for the park, including promoting the benefits of connection with the Parklands, such as improved wellbeing and a sense of environmental stewardship
The FDP offers many opportunities to learn about and care for the park, including long-running Thursday planting and weeding group and community Park Care Days with the DCMC. Our meetings, information sessions with speakers, workshops, and nature-based activities take place in the Parkland, usually at the Gleeson Centre and on either weekday evenings or weekend afternoons.
