Visiting our bushlands and wetlands
Brisbane’s bushlands, wetlands and forests play a crucial role in supporting diverse ecosystems and providing valuable habitat.
When visiting a bushland reserve:
- Follow park signage, especially track signs.
- Keep to authorised and existing tracks.
- Take your rubbish home with you or put it in a bin.
- Leash your dog, unless you’re in a dog off-leash area.
- Clean up after your dog and put dog waste in the bin or take it home with you.
If you live near a reserve:
- Fence your property to ensure your dog can’t escape and wander into a reserve.
- Maintain your garden to avoid introducing weeds and pest species into bushlands and wetlands.
- Do not dump rubbish or green waste in a reserve.
