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 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 - 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.

Visit our other pages and learn more about events both past and present.
