Red Hill, South Canberra's wooded ridgeline, provides spectacular views of Parliament House and other national monuments framed by the Hill's Red Gum - Yellow Box grassy woodland. This type of woodland has been extensively cleared elsewhere and is now endangered. Red Hill is one of the few places where this woodland and its wildlife can be experienced today.Unfortunately Red Hill has had a high weed invasion. In the later 1980s weeds covered more than a third of the hill and woody weeds formed massive thickets.
In 1989 the Red Hill Regenerators formed. As part of the government's Park Care program Red Hill Regenerators are working to restore Red Hill woodland to its former glory.
You are welcome to join our monthly activities. We carry out our bush regeneration work on the 4th Sunday of each month, from 9am to 12:30, except for December and January.
You can also assist in the care of wildlife by keeping dogs on leads, and by riding bikes only on the larger vehicle tracks.
Enjoy your time on the Hill.
