About Us
25 years and counting
Established in 1999 (26 July), the Friends of Shepherds Hill Recreation Park is a group of dedicated volunteers seeking to advance the environmental rehabilitation of the Park, particularly its Grey Box (E. microcarpa) grassy woodlands (a vulnerable ecosystem). The area of Shepherds Hill is and has always been a predominantly grassy woodland.
Over recent decades the incursion of weeds, particularly olive, boneseed, phalaris and ash have significantly impacted the local environment.
​
The work of the Friends of Shepherds Hill Recreation Park is gradually but significantly restoring the balance.
​
We appreciate the support of the South Australian Department for Environment & Water and the Friends of Parks & Nature SA.
