This guided walk through Killara Park will be led by long-time bush regenerator and conservation advocate Nancy Pallin. The park protects a small but significant remnant of Sydney Turpentine–Ironbark Forest, a wet sclerophyll forest community once widespread across Sydney’s Inner West and northern suburbs.
Today, this ecological community is listed as Critically Endangered under Commonwealth legislation. Less than 5% of its original extent remains. Killara Park sits within a transitional zone between Cumberland Plain Woodland and Blue Gum High Forest, making it an important place to understand ecological change, resilience and recovery.
As we walk, we’ll reflect on more than 25 years of bush regeneration at the site — the steady, often quiet work of volunteers and Council Bushcare groups to manage invasive species and support native vegetation recruitment over decades.
More details coming soon. For now, save the date and join us to walk through history, ecology and practice.
