About Us
What we do
FDP works to protect, improve and advocate for the bushland character of the Parklands, maintaining it as a wildlife haven and place to appreciate nature
Our interests include:
- Controlling 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 Parklands, including promoting the benefits of connection with the Parklands, such as improved wellbeing and a sense of environmental stewardshi
FDP offers opportunities to learn about and care for the park, including support for programs run by DCMC: the Thursday weeding and planting group, propagation work in the nursery and community Park Care days. Our meetings, information sessions with speakers, workshops, and nature-based activities take place in the Parklands, usually at the Gleeson Centre on either weekday evenings or weekend afternoons.
