With the spring season now underway, Hornsby Shire Council has unveiled its upcoming schedule of free guided bushwalks, aimed at providing an educational, safe and enjoyable outdoor experience, exclusive for Hornsby Shire residents.
This bushwalking program certainly has something for everyone, with a wide range of events planned, some targeted at beginners looking to take an easy stroll, others to bushwalking enthusiasts looking for a challenging hike.
Bushwalkers will be sure to learn a lot on these outings, with professional guides and organisers providing fascinating insights into the natural and cultural history of the Bushland Shire. Upcoming guided bushwalks this spring include:
- Edgeworth David Garden and Hornsby Creek meander, Hornsby
- Endangered Forest Walk, Cherrybrook
- Wild Investigators Activity for 7-12 year olds, Fagan Park, Galston
- World Migratory Bird Day Walk, Brooklyn
- Fagan Park Nighttime Family Bushwalk, Galston
- Mount Kuring-gai Station to Berowra Station.
Hornsby Shire Council General Manager Steven Head has encouraged residents to take up the opportunity to explore nature with this bushwalking initiative.
"The guided spring bushwalks offer a fantastic opportunity for residents to immerse themselves in the Bushland Shire's natural beauty and learn about local plants and wildlife from our experts, whilst also getting some exercise," Steven said.
The spring bushwalks are part of Hornsby Shire Council's rolling program of guided walks which showcase the Bushland Shire through the changing seasons. Programs are announced three times per year and are very popular – residents are advised to book early so they don't miss out.
