Remnant forest ecosystems Led by Leon Fuller & Emma Rooksby
About
Leon and Emma will lead a walk through a pocket of rainforest situated on the Illawarra Escarpment, southwards from Bulli Pass. This track winds through eucalypt forest and Illawarra Subtropical Rainforest. The forest communities are representative of those in the northern part of the Illawarra District along the escarpment. The tall wet sclerophyll forest supports eucalypts such as Blackbutt, Blue Gum and White Topped Box, with an understorey of many plants. The rainforest contains many species characteristic of this section of the escarpment, such as; Red Cedars, Giant Stinging Trees, Sandpaper figs, Cabbage Palms and many other species including a plethora of ferns. The highly diverse understorey points to the future of the rainforest, when today's seedlings mature into tomorrow's canopy trees. The walk will be mainly on-track with some off-track walking, guided by local topography, vegetation and the paths visible to us as we make our way through the forest.Location
