Friends of Yellagonga

This year Halidon Primary School has partnered with the Friends of Yellagonga (FOY)  group to inform our students of the importance of protecting and restoring the biodiversity of the Yellagonga Regional Park. The aim of the FOY is to promote and participate in the conservation, rehabilitation and protection of Yellagonga Regional Park to ensure long-term environmental sustainability and compatible human use.

FOY was formed in 1993 and works in tandem with the Department of Parks and Wildlife (DPAW).

FOY manages a number of sites within the park. Regular workdays are held at the FOY sites, first growing and then planting local endemic species, removal of introduced species and site maintenance.

The senior block students have taken responsibility for a “Yellagonga” garden located on the western side of the building. Students are involved in researching and caring for specific plants supplied by the FOY.  

This groups is also responsible for supplying Halidon PS with an owl nesting box to be located on our school site.
