Glenorie Wildlife Refuge

Glenorie Wildlife Refuge is situated in Sydney's North West. The property is gazetted under the National Parks and Wildlife Act as a Wildlife Refuge. Twenty years ago several property owners whose land constituted a wildlife corridor between Cattai Creek and Little Cattai Creek applied together to become the Glenorie Wildlife Refuge. Thus around 80 hectares of native Sydney bushland on Hawkesbury sandstone was protected. Wallabies, goannas, snakes, parrots, cockatoos, micro bats, many invertebrates and a wide variety of acacias, eucalypts, casuarinas and hakeas are just a few examples of the fauna and flora found here. We work to keep out weeds and feral animals. Read more...

On our part of the Refuge we source about 1/3 of our power from a solar tracker system on site. We use only rain water, have a bio-dynamic vegetable garden which includes some bush tucker and are replanting some of the eucalypt species which were logged out of here many decades ago. We are also a WWOOF host.
