This is a rare opportunity to join a local expert on a 2-hour family-friendly guided tour of Agnes Banks Nature Reserve in Western Sydney:

• On 5 April we’ll take a nature stroll and discover why Agnes Banks Nature Reserve is so unique. Come with an inquisitive mind to look at the plants and animals that make up this complex ecosystem and learn why each one is so important. Threatened plant species in this reserve include the endangered nodding geebung, and the critically endangered regent honey eater has been recorded here. Eastern grey kangaroos, sugar gliders and lace monitors also live in the reserve.
  
  
• The 18 April tour will focus on the native birdlife in the park. Whether you’re a keen bird watcher, photographer, nature-lover or complete novice, this guided tour is for you. We’ll look for the red-capped robin, little lorikeet, turquoise parrot, and marvel at the beauty of the eastern rosella, golden whistler and zebra finch. You’ll be enthralled by the interactions between these birds and their local habitat.

On each tour you’ll find out about Cumberland Plain Woodland conservation programs and how you can help to look after these special plants, animals and birds. We suggest bringing binoculars if you have them.

Agnes Banks Nature Reserve is part of the critically endangered Cumberland Plain Woodland threatened ecological community. It’s a special part of Western Sydney which currently has less than 6 per cent of woodlands remaining.

Wear enclosed shoes, a hat, sunscreen and bring drinking water and binoculars if you have them.
