Forests

Visitors

This forest is packed with life. For millions of years plants, insects, birds, mammals and fungi have built a healthy ecosystem. But did you know that invasive alien species can travel with us secretly when we visit the forest - their seeds, roots & larvae are sticking to our shoes, our tyres & our gear. Once in the forest they overgrow, chase away or disturb the existing species. The healthy ecosystem of the forest is gone, and so are the benefits for all of us.

You can help protect our precious forests by cleaning your shoes, tyres and gear before & after your visit. The forest thanks you!
