The Campbelltown area boasts a significant amount of native bushland.
One of the best things we can do for our local environment is to create a native garden in our backyard, no matter how big or small our backyard may be. Native gardens extend the bushland atmosphere into our urban landscape, giving both the plant life and the many beautiful local species of birds, frogs, insects and reptiles a safe haven to thrive.
The Native Gardening Guide(PDF, 13MB) makes planting natives easy and fun, providing a detailed list of what native plants will thrive in the backyard, ranging from trees to shrubs to grasses. The guide also includes a range of tips and information that will help people create the best native garden possible.

Biodiversity is important for maintaining a healthy environment; after all it is what fuels many of the processes we rely on, like those that clean the air, filter the water and nurture the soils.
Weeds can wreak havoc on the environment, out-competing native species for sunlight and water and upsetting the natural balance. Help look after your local environment by managing these pesky plants.
