Big Scrub

Wollongbar Primary Industries Institute also has a heritage listed rainforest. This area was once part of the “Big Scrub”, and represents a very important remnant of a once large sub-tropical rainforest and the unique flora and fauna of this region. Native vegetation regeneration and land care are ongoing projects to both protect and expand the remnant natural rainforest and surrounding areas on the site.
