Join us for our community guided walk through Franklin Forest. We'll be peering at fungi, craning our heads to tall trees and cocking our ears to the calls of black cockatoos. Sassafras flowers in spring filling the forest with a pungent aroma and carpeting the floor with white flowers.
Franklin Forest is home to beautiful stands of leatherwood, large old swamp gums, and a myriad of wonders which we will slow down and contemplate on this guided walk.
The walk will take up to two hours. It is about 2 km long but we will walk slowly to give us time to really take in and discuss our beautiful surroundings.
Meet at the Living Boat Trust, Franklin.
Please bring appropriate bushwalking gear; hiking shoes, rain jacket, water, and snacks. Note that the track can be slippery and muddy and involves some climbing over falling trees and therefore may not be suitable for all walkers. Don't forget your warm layers it's always a few degrees cooler up on the hill and under the trees.
If you are unable to attend, please cancel your booking via eventbrite and email to let us know that you can not make it. This will allow us to open the bookings for more people to attend, as booking numbers are capped. If we have to make changes to the event or cancel due to bad weather (we've never had to yet) we will contact you by email. Please make sure you enter details and keep an eye on your email.
