Spring Open Days

Spring Open Days return in 2022 for lovers of nature to learn more about flora and fauna living in Bayside’s heathlands and reserves.

The Spring Openings are a chance to walk through areas of remnant bushland and coastal vegetation and get a closer look at Bayside’s indigenous plants as they flower in spring.
