Parks and reserves

In urban locations many small pockets of bushland are protected in reserves to provide a buffer and pleasant view between houses.

The Sunshine Coast’s conservation estate has received a boost with the purchase of additional bushland area in the heart of Buderim through the environment levy land acquisition program.

Reptiles and amphibians are not always the most popular of neighbours, but they are certainly very ‘cool’.

Thanks to your environment levy an incredible 27.5 hectare eucalypt and rainforest habitat in the heart of Buderim will be protected and enhanced for many future generations to come.

This unique research event aimed at studying and celebrating biodiversity in the reserve by cataloguing as much life as possible from dripline to rooftop canopy in each of these 5 trees.

Let us take a guided tour to discover just some of the exciting educational opportunities provided within the new rainforest discovery centre.

Check out what we found on a guided walk through the reserve.
