What's On in Franklin

Join community forest stewards for a short guided walk through the beautiful Franklin Forest. We'll be peering at fungi, craning our heads to tall trees, cocking our ears to the calls of black cockatoos and keeping a watch for the resident pair of nesting wedgetail eagles. In summer the shift in temperature as you step into the forest is really apparent. The leatherwood is coming into flower and we start to see the distinctive four petalled flowers scattered across the forest floor. 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.
