SUMMARY:Bushland Precinct Nature Walk
DESCRIPTION:Members of the Friends of the Australian National Botanic Gardens are invited to a special guided walk to explore the Gardens’ Bushland Precinct\, across the Black Mountain road from the main part of the Gardens. \nThe Bushland Nature Walk meanders through the Bushland Precinct of the Australian National Botanic Gardens\, which is one of the few botanic gardens that has a section of original natural flora. The walk takes you through open forest and features expansive views to Canberra City and Parliament House. Some of the plants are labelled and you will find interpretive signs about the biodiversity\, fire ecology and soil of the area. The walk culminates at a viewing platform offering spectacular views across Lake Burley Griffin. Return is via the same path. \nEasy to medium on uneven ground\, a few stairs and short steep sections. There are some places to rest along the way. Distance: 3.2 km (1.6 km each way) \nMeet: Friends only at Visitor Centre\, ANBG. We leave at 9:30am so please arrive a few minutes earlier.\nCost: $10\nBYO water\, hat\, sunblock and stout shoes \nPlease Book: Places are limited\, so bookings will be required. Book at https://www.trybooking.com/DITZU. \nContacts for enquiries: email events@friendsanbg.org.au or contact Linda on 0437 298 711.

SUMMARY:Butterfly walks
DESCRIPTION:In summer we see not only how colourful butterflies are when they fly but also how well “camouflaged” they are when resting on logs or rocks. Join us to hunt for Imperial Jezebels\, Australian Painted Ladies\, Common Brown butterflies and others. We all love sunlight\, and we owe many glorious and sweet-scented flowers to the butterflies and moths that pollinate them. Join our local expert\, Dr Suzi Bond to see and hear about butterflies and the plants they like in the ANBG. \nCopies of the “Field Guide to the Butterflies of the Australian Capital Territory” by Suzi Bond with Steve Holliday and John Stein are for sale in the Botanical Bookshop. \nSunday 18 January 2026 (choose from two sessions: 10.30 am or 1.30 pm) \nBring binoculars for a closer look at the butterflies\, and camera\,  if you wish.\nMeet at the Visitor Centre \n(Walks are for Friends members and family)\nCost: $10 (All proceeds go towards projects in the Gardens.) \nBookings can be made at https://www.trybooking.com/DGXFX.
