Our bushland is made up of native plants which together form different vegetation communities that cover large areas of the Northern Beaches. Our bushland is vital habitat for native animals from the threatened pygmy possums and powerful owls, to the common swamp wallaby and ring tail possum. The plants in bushland areas clean our air and together with the soil, filter the water running into our waterways.
