Stirling Linear
Park, in the Adelaide Hills, is a natural reserve close to the centre
of Stirling in South Australia. The Park contains large areas of natural
bushland providing significant conservation and biodiversity value to
the Adelaide Hills.
The
Chairman's report, presented at the 2007 AGM, is reproduced in the Summer
2007/8 newsletter.
You
can take a self guided walk around the Woorabinda Lake. A brochure
is available to help you get the most out of your walk.
An
Environmental Value Assessment Report has been completed for the Friends
of Stirling Linear Park by Robby Towill. It is an excellent report,
and provides a lot of interesting information. It is provided here
as a PDF (3.4 Mb).

These tortoises were spotted at Woorabinda recently. This illustrates
the need to leave fallen logs in place as they are put to good use by
the tortoises, lizards, frogs and other inhabitants of the park.
Fallen
trees and branches in other areas are also part of the natural ecosystem
and whenever possible should be left to rot and crumble away, providing
homes and nourishment for small animals and insects.
