Mulligans Flat Woodland Sanctuary

Allan took Meg on a bushwalk to Mulligans Flat Woodland Sanctuary in Forde, Canberra. They walked to the old Woodshed, had a look inside and enjoyed a picnic lunch. The Sanctuary is 485 hectares of Mulligans Flat Nature Reserve enclosed by a predator proof fence. Mulligans Flat Woodland Sanctuary is a step back in time to a woodland before European settlement without foxes or cats, no stock, hares or rabbits and no weeds! The aim of the Sanctuary is to recover some of the fascinating features of woodlands and reintroduce locally extinct native animals and birds that are vulnerable to feral predators such as foxes and cats. Without these predators and stock the native wildlife can thrive.
