The Business Plan prepared by North Head Sanctuary Foundation is to use this building with the two adjacent former truck washing bays for the Nursery. The Education Centre focusing on Eastern Suburbs Banksia Scrub plants has been established since January 2009 in the front of the brick building and is being staffed by volunteers each weekend from 10am - 4pm. The nearest truck washdown bay has been enclosed with wiremesh and shadecloth to keep the seedlings safe. |

The Nursery construction was undertaken by volunteers under guidance from a licenced builder. As you can see, seedlings and plants are now growing in the nursery.
Volunteers have worked to clean up and paint the floor of the Education Centre. Since it has opened, volunteers continue to create and erect a range of displays depicting aspects of Eastern Suburbs Banksia Scrub. We would appreciate more volunteers offering to help in this centre in the weekends providing information to visitors and showing them the plants growing in the Nursery.
