Friends of Berowra Valley support the NSW NPWS (National Parks and Wildlife Service) with ecological restorations in the Berowra Valley National Park.
Bellamy Street Pennant Hills
Bellamy Street Pennant Hills is the entry to Bellamy Trail which is part of the Berowra Valley Regional Park and allows dog walking. This is also the entrance to the Benowie Walking Track which is part of the Great North Walk and the Berowra Valley National Park. It is mapped as a Peppermint-Angophora Forest.

Provest Creek
Provest Creek is a part of Berowra Valley National Park and is fed primarily by stormwater collected in the local urban catchment. At the top of the catchment is Montview Oval which was created from an old landfill site. A quarry operation mining clay shale and fireclay was also in operation from 1960 to 1975.
Since then the area has been left to naturally regenerate. There are massive weed plumes along the creekline but also enough native flora to support a diverse range of fauna.
We run a volunteer group that meets the first Tuesday of every month 10am-12pm. If you are interested in getting involved then send an enquiry through our contact form.
