Ku-ring-gai Wildflower Garden (KWG)

420 Mona Vale Road, St Ives

Modified outdoor activity held within restrictions imposed due to Covid-19

10 am Monday 19th April 2021 Wildlife of Ku-ring-gai Wildflower Garden, a guided walk

This walk will explore the various habitats that support the native animals that abound in Ku-ring-gai Wildflower Garden.

Swamp wallabies, echidnas, goannas, brush turkeys, eastern whipbirds and in the pond area, water dragons, red-bellied black snakes, long-necked turtles and frogs are just a sample of the fauna you may encounter. Many of our marsupial animals are nocturnal so Glenda and Jenny will describe the types of habitat that are likely to be home to species of possums and gliders that use KWG and show the signs of the gliders feeding in the native gum trees.

Walk Only: Focused on natural historic aspects of Ku-ring-gai Wildflower Garden.

Leaders Glenda and Jenny are both members of APS NSG with a special interest in the care and rescue of native wildlife.
