With autumn fast approaching, Hornsby Shire Council has unveiled its upcoming schedule of free guided bushwalks, aimed at providing an educational, safe and enjoyable outdoor experience, exclusively for Hornsby Shire residents.
The 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 knowledgeable guides and organisers providing fascinating insights into the natural and cultural history of the Bushland Shire. Upcoming guided bushwalks this autumn include:
- Cultural History – Berowra Station to Waratah Bay Bushwalk, Berowra
- Sphinx to Bobbin Head Return Bushwalk, North Turramurra
- Wild Investigators Activity for 7-12 Year Olds, Fagan Park, Galston
- Endangered Forest Walk, Cherrybrook
- Fagan Park Dog Walk, Galston.
Hornsby Shire Mayor Warren Waddell has encouraged residents to take up the opportunity to explore nature with this bushwalking initiative.
"The guided autumn 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," said Mayor Waddell.
The autumn 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.
