Next date: Friday, 05 September 2025 | 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM

Join Council’s Biodiversity Officer, Dr Jaclyn Harris, for a special community event at Bald Hill Reserve, Kyneton.

The event is run in recognition of National Threatened Species Day and to coincide with the Kyneton Daffodil Festival.

Enjoy a guided walk through the reserve, take in the beauty of this unique landscape, and learn about the importance of bushland reserves like Bald Hill and the vital role they play in protecting threatened species and local biodiversity.

Bald Hill Reserve is a 96-hectare expanse of forest, woodland, and grassland. Notably, it provides habitat for threatened species such as the Clover Glycine (Glycine latrobeana), Matted Flax Lily (Dianella amoena), and the Brown Toadlet (Pseudophryne bibronii).

National Threatened Species Day is held on 7 September each year to highlight the plight of endangered species, marking the date of the death of the last remaining Tasmanian Tiger.

• Wear warm clothing and comfortable shoes. In the event of wild weather, this event may be cancelled at short notice. The walk will be modified if raining.
• A moderate level of fitness is required. Bald Hill Reserve's terrain includes undulating gravel paths, with some inclines.

This community event will be hosted by Macedon Ranges Shire Council. Ticketing will be handled by the Kyneton Daffodil Festival Committee.
