North Head Sanctuary Foundation is working with Government agencies towards the establishment of Car-rang-gel Sanctuary on North Head at the gateway of Sydney Harbour - a flagship for Australia's environmental resolve and a celebration of our natural and cultural heritage.

Welcome to the
North Head Sanctuary Foundation website

After six years of submission writing, meetings and workshops, the Sanctuary opened for visitors in 2007. We opened our first interpretive community education centre at the beginning of 2009 and moved this to its current location in 2011.

This interpretive centre in Building 20, featuring information about North Head's heritage, plants, animals and research related to the Eastern Suburbs Banksia Scrub threatened community, is open from 10am to 4pm on Saturdays and Sundays.

Our Information Centre is open each weekend,
with hours being 10am to 4pm on Saturdays and Sundays.

Come in and visit us in Building 20 - Community Education Centre. See map.

Early in 2009 we established a Native Plant Nursery within the former School of Artillery site and have been planting out seedlings into degraded areas. It's fun! Would you like to get involved?

Have a look at our information pages about plants you can see on North Head.
