Central coast community coming together to for a day outside: Coast to Cradle Nature Open Days
Coast to Cradle Wild Country
This Sunday, two community events were held in support of the Coast to Cradle Wild Country vision, bringing dozens of people together to explore and enjoy some of the region’s spectacular natural landscapes.
One event was a guided walk through the Giants of the Leven, a remarkable forest near Leven Canyon that is home to multiple giant, century-old trees. The walk was hosted by community group Protect Our North West Forests, and more than 40 people came to enjoy this majestic forest together!
It was a wonderful day spent outside and learning more about the plants and wildlife that call it home. Along the way, the group spotted a wombat, heard the calls of pardalotes and marvelled at some bone-filled devil scat.
Meanwhile, the Cradle Coast Mountain Bike Club hosted a social ride for keen mountain bikers. The group set out from the Montgomery trailhead on Sunday morning, beginning on the Iron Tor Trail.
From there, they climbed towards the Ironcliffe Ridge Trail, with views stretching across the farmland to the west. The ride continued towards the summit of Iron Tor before descending with spectacular views towards the coast.
It was fantastic to see so many people enjoying these special places and connecting with others who share a love of the region’s wild landscapes.
About the Coast to Cradle Wild Country
The Coast to Cradle Wild Country stretches from the Central Coast to Cradle Mountain, encompassing the Dial Range, Loyetea Range, Three Brothers, Leven Canyon, Leven River and Black Bluff.
These landscapes currently have a variety of land tenures and levels of protection. The Coast to Cradle Wild Country vision is an opportunity to look at the landscape as a whole and explore what its future could look like, including how these special places might be better connected and protected into the future.
This is a community-led project, and everyone has an opportunity to have their say and help shape the vision for the future of this remarkable wild landscape.
