Name of Forest: School Nature Area


General information

The school's 'Nature Area' consists of the last remaining stand of natural vegetation within the suburb of Dharruk. I have been able to identify these trees as mainly Eucalyptus molluccana. A small number of Eucalyptus amplifolia ssp. amplifolia, Eucalyptus maculata, Eucalyptus baurerana and Allocasuarina littoralis are also present. In addition, we have recently planted a couple of new gardens. One is entirely native, the other is dominated by local species of natives (i.e. form the Cumberland Plain)
