Many Friends of Mark Oliphant Conservation Park are also members of the Friends of Stirling Linear Park.
The following image was taken at the 2002 AGM and picnic.
Mark Oliphant Conservation Park contains a large area of bushland in the Adelaide Hills. The Park has a recreation zone and a 170 hectare conservation zone. Entrance to the park is from Scott Creek Road, between Heathfield and Scott Creek.
The Park is home to the rare southern brown bandicoot and yellow-footed antechinus. The forest canopy is mostly messmate stringybark (Eucalyptus obliqua) and brown stringybark (E. baxteri). The understory is diverse, but severe bushfires in 1980 and 1995 have affected the flora. Weeds are the main threat to the Park's flora diversity.
