Natural Reserves

|
We are very fortunate to have a wide variety of natural reserves in the Frankston area, providing a diversity of habitats not only for indigenous wildlife but also for our international visitors, the migratory birds.
A reserve is also a precious place for people, where we can escape the stresses of modern life and enjoy the peace and beauty of nature. Each of the natural reserves in Frankston is unique and precious, providing vital habitat and refuge for wildlife as well as being priceless places of recreation and inspiration for the local community.
You can pick up a copy of the booklet "Natural Reserves within Frankston City" at any of the Council service outlets or the Visitor Information Centre. For information on guided Ranger walks during the school holidays phone 1300 322 842 or go to the Visitor Information Centre website.
