Family Day at Woodlands Historic Park (sponsored by Melbourne Airport)
Greenvale, VIC

Enjoy a morning of fun and education learning about your critically endangered neighbour the Eastern Barred Bandicoot. This day runs from 9am until 12.30pm.

With the support of Melbourne Airport, Conservation Volunteers Australia has established a 300 hectare protected and predator-proof habitat for the critically endangered Eastern Barred Bandicoot, one of Victoria’s most endangered mammals. Located on Melbourne Airport’s back doorstep, community members and volunteers have worked tirelessly during the past four years to repair, install and maintain a predator-proof fence at Woodlands Historic Park, jointly managed by Parks Victoria. 

Conservation Volunteers Australia and Melbourne Airport welcomes you, your family and friends to a morning education and conservation, to help the Eastern Barred Bandicoot.

With the species currently listed as extinct in the wild, your assistance is essential to the Eastern Barred Bandicoot’s recovery so they can bounce back from the brink of extinction! 

Please note that volunteers meet in the car park at Woodlands Historic Park. There is no transport provided from our West Melbourne office.
