The Conservation and Land Management program aims at maintaining, improving and developing the natural environment of Burnside.
Many volunteers help directly with the management of the natural heritage of Burnside.
To assist in the protection of our native flora and fauna The City of Burnside is marking areas managed for conservation in both urban reserves and its hills face reserves.
Michael Perry Botanic Reserve in Stonyfell is one of our most iconic reserves and is well used by walkers who enjoy the trail along Second Creek. The reserve was created in the 1970s after subdivision of the historic Clifton Estate, one of South Australia’s most historic homesteads.
To guide the management and restoration of our hills face reserves and roadsides The City of Burnside has developed the Hills Face Vegetation Management Framework 2019.
