It can take 12-18 months for most plant species to regenerate following a fire so NPWS are working hard to control rabbit numbers and weeds to help provide the best possible environment as the bush returns.
It’s important that we walkers and runners stick to the walking tracks during this regeneration period to provide the best possible environment for the landscape to return.
The Sydney Harbour Federation Trust have established the North Head Sanctuary Bushfire Recovery Advisory Group which is made up of community members, Aboriginal advisors, local elected representatives, government and consultants. The Group is already looking at coordinating efforts to support the recovery.
If you visit North Head, please stay out of burnt areas to give our seedlings the best chance at coming back.
