The Ku-ring-gai GeoRegion was a project initiated by FOKE, and is supported by grants from local Councils. We also gratefully acknowledge the support of Bendigo Bank, Lindfield and Districts, which provided a Director’s Grant which made the development of this website possible.
The website offers visitors the opportunity to discover self-guided trails, learn about ancient rock formations, and plan trips to iconic sites, making it a must-visit resource for nature enthusiasts and educators.
Explore stunning vistas and coastal, forest and woodland walks. Learn about the GeoRegion’s geology and landscapes, biodiversity, and Aboriginal cultural history developed over millennia.
Much of the natural bushland of the GeoRegion has been conserved within six protected areas. The largest being the Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park with other protected areas including Muogamarra Nature Reserve, and parts of Berowra Valley National Park, Lane Cove National Park, Garigal National Park and Long Reef Aquatic Reserve.
The website serves as a comprehensive resource enabling visitors to explore detailed information on the GeoRegion’s natural and cultural heritage, as well as access educational resources and engage with future initiatives.
“The website marks a significant step in the development of the Ku-ring-gai GeoRegion as a gateway to understanding the extraordinary natural and cultural heritage of the area” said Ursula Bonzol, chair of the Steering Committee.
The GeoRegion has received on-going support from local Councils (Hornsby, Ku-ring-gai, and Northern Beaches), the National Parks and Wildlife Service, and local community groups.
