The primary aim of the Association is to help create and maintain a healthy, biologically diverse, and beautiful public space in and around the Lochiel Park development, including the efficient functioning of the wetlands. Friends of Lochiel Park achieves this by primarily using plant species native to the area.
WHAT WE DO
Flora & fauna
Ensuring that the native flora and fauna of the ‘urban forest’ are maintained and developed using local plant species where appropriate.
Community
Educating the local community about the flora and fauna of Lochiel Park and how to maintain and encourage optimal growth of the native species of this area.
Development
Advocating for the maintenance, development, and improvement of the Lochiel Park environs and public spaces, especially of the wetlands.
Council Development
Working with Campbelltown City Council to develop projects to improve the local amenities, health, biodiversity and beauty of Lochiel Park.
GET INVOLVED
Working Bees
FoLP holds regular working bees generally on the 2nd Saturday of the month (check Events/Working Bees for dates). At the moment FoLP is maintaining and developing the grasslands in the Urban Forest at the northern end of Lochiel Park.
