Revegetation
A full time revegetation officer coordinates the collection of indigenous seeds and cuttings, raising of seedlings and planting programs to rehabilitate damaged ecosystems and increase populations of endangered plant species. Volunteers from the local community and all over the world assist with Phillip Island Nature Parks’ revegetation program.
Weeds
Weeds are one of the greatest threats to plant and animals on Phillip Island. Over 200 weeds have been recorded in Phillip Island Nature Parks, including five ‘Weeds of National Significance’ and 26 state declared noxious weeds. To help combat weeds, a weed strategy has been developed that sets priorities, partnerships and resources for weed management.
Phillip Island Nature Park weed strategy
The Phillip Island Penguin Parade is one of Australia's most popular wildlife attractions - perfect for a family holiday or getting back to nature.
Experience wild koalas in their natural habitat and stroll through Aussie bushland at our environmentally sustainable Centre dedicated to koala conservation.
Step back in time... meet the farm animals, relax in the cafe, enjoy the water views, stroll amongst heritage buildings and lovely gardens.
Located only 5 minutes from the Penguin Parade and overlooking the wild water of Bass Strait, the FREE Nobbies Centre showcases Australian fur seals and the unique marine life in our Southern Oceans.
