Fernleigh Park Landcare

Jerrabomberra Creek flows through Fernleigh Estate and while there are some remnant eucalypt outcrops much of the area was cleared for farmland and has very rocky soils.

The local Fernleigh Park Landcare group was established in 2002 with the aim of undertaking extensive planting programs along Jerrabomberra Creek and the streets that stretch throughout the Park to create a corridor of connected vegetation. Weeding, spraying, watering and fencing are regularly undertaken to ensure the ongoing success of the plantings.
