Managing Ocean Grove Nature Reserve

DELWP

The Ocean Grove Nature Reserve is the Bellarine Peninsula's largest remaining patch of non-coastal indigenous vegetation.

The 143-hectare site is home to more than 300 plant and 200 animal species. It's also an important habitat for several threatened species, including the Bellarine Yellow Gum, a rare tree species only found between Torquay and the Bellarine.

The reserve is adjacent to a mix of commercial, residential and acreage properties and is a popular place for locals and visitors to exercise, explore and enjoy nature.

Forest Fire Management Victoria works with The Friends of Ocean Grove Nature Reserve, Parks Victoria, Fire Rescue Victoria and the local CFA brigade to manage fuel loads and enhance the ecological health of the reserve.
