Friends of Cleland Conservation Park

The aim of this activity is to continue the efforts of the Friends of Cleland National Park to regenerate the upper section of the Stueb Trail which connects Mt Lofty Summit to Cleland Wildlife Park and was officially opened in October 2020. The trail has been designed with low-gradient access, making it possible for families with small children or people with reduced mobility to reach the summit without having to use the steeper Waterfall Gully Trail. Much work has been done by the Volunteers to remove invasive weeds and plant and maintain endemic trees, shrubs and grasses along the trail working in partnership with Rangers and Ecologists but more needs to be done. National Tree Day is a great opportunity for those who use this popular trail to contribute to its regeneration for the benefit of the many thousands of people who visit this area and the many beings who call it home.
