The best way to see our native nocturnal animals is in their own habitat. Come along with an inquisitive mind as we explore with our expert guide.
You might see the vulnerable squirrel glider, feathertail glider, sugar glider, tawny frog mouth, sooty owl, or even various tiny microbats. Find out about each animal and why they’re so important in this complex ecosystem in Castlereagh Nature Reserve.
We’ll also explore the important conservation programs to preserve this critically endangered ecological community. You’ll learn how you can help to look after this special place.
Castlereagh Nature Reserve protects some of the largest and most ecologically intact remnants of the extensive woodlands that once covered the Cumberland Plain and dominated Western Sydney.
Please wear clothing suitable for the conditions, enclosed shoes and bring a full water bottle and a torch.
