Learn more about snow gums, often described as Australia’s most beautiful trees. Snow gums are a foundational species of the sub-alpine landscape in the Snowy Mountains and we’ll visit many of them along this tour on the Charlotte Pass Village to Perisher Valley walk.
On this 5km guided walk we’ll see why the gnarled, twisted trunks and rainbow coloured bark make snow gums a favourite subject for photographers.
Our snow gums are important to the ecosystem in terms of habitat, hydrology, carbon cycling, cultural importance, and biodiversity. Although snow gums are extremely important to this ecosystem they are facing multiple threats.
If you’ve ever wondered why many of these beautiful trees are dead or dying then come along and ask our Discovery guide your questions about the ‘sea of silver’ on our mountain ridges.
Remember to bring a hat, sunscreen, water bottle and wear clothes for all weather conditions.
