Friends of Dryandra Woodland

Friends of Dryandra Woodland is a community group dedicated to restoring degraded forests and woodlands along the western edge of O’Connor.

Another focus is entering records into NatureMapr to gain an understanding of how Dryandra Woodland’s biodiversity is complementary to that in adjacent reserves. We have recorded over a thousand species of animals and plants on Dryandra Woodland.

Formed in 2020 volunteers have restored and conserved significant bushland remnants along, and west of, Dryandra Street in North Canberra.

In the past four years we have focused on restoring TCCS land bounded by Barry Drive, and Dryandra and Fairfax Streets. Recent activities have focused on PCS land on the eastern edge of Bruce Ridge Nature Park.

The Group is sociable and our special reward is seeing steady progress as weeds retreat and natives return.  We finish all work parties enjoying a complimentary drink and slice of delicious pizza provided by the kind folk at the Verandah restaurant, Alivio Tourist Park.
