Guided Bushwalk – Trigg Bushland

The Wildflower Society – Northern Suburbs Branch and the Friends of Trigg Bushland jointly host a guided bushwalk through Trigg Bushland on the fifth Saturday of the month, which falls due on April 30 (as well as 30 July, 29 October and 31 December, 2016).

Meet at 8am on the south side of St Mary’s Anglican School. (This is on the slip road at the side of the school, near where it meets Elliott Road.)  Walk begins at 8am and lasts 1 – 2 hours.

The walk is at a gentle pace on established paths. Bring your hat and water bottle as well as your camera and binoculars.

Children are welcome, and it is a good opportunity to provide some training about quiet observation of wildlife and respecting the bush by staying on paths. Unfortunately, even well behaved dogs on a lead tend to frighten wildlife, and so we ask you to leave your dog at home.
