What to bring

It is recommended that you wear a warm coat and gumboots. If you have binoculars bring them too.

What to expect

The walk takes approximately two hours. The terrain is flat with mud at various points. 

Friends of Glenfern Green Wedge

The Friends of Glenfern Green Wedge have been surveying this stretch of Ferny Creek for 5 years under the mentorship of Birdlife Australia and are a keen group of community scientists! By taking part in this event you can directly contribute to discovering these important species and help conserve their environment. The route starts at the retarding basin and travels west along ferny creek in a set route developed by birdlife Australia.

Parking

Parking is available along New Road, near the oval. Once parked, walk to the retarding basin wall for the Guided Bird Walk.

Tread Lightly

Please respect our plants and wildlife when taking photos. Spring is nesting season for many birds and flowering time for many orchids and herbs so try not to damage or disturb our plants or animals.
