Welcome… Meet the Friends of Brisbane Ranges and learn about what we do.
Friends of Brisbane Ranges aims to learn about the environment, ecology, flora, fauna, and history of the Brisbane Ranges National Park and Steiglitz Historic Park.
Group members meet regularly to learn more about the diverse ecology of the Park through citizen science activities and hands-on conservation work. And for members, this is an enjoyable and involving way to appreciate the natural beauty of the park while protecting the Park’s environmental values.
In 2022, the Friends of Brisbane Ranges will celebrate its 40 year anniversary. We look forward to providing news and events on this new website to recognise this important milestone.
You will see the material for this website changing as it is being uploaded and posted, so if you can't find specific Friends of Brisbane Ranges subjects or stories, please let us know.
We hope you enjoy this newly launched website and learn a bit more about the unique assemblage of animals, fungi and plants calling the Brisbane Ranges home. To get involved, keep up with social media, join in an activity and become a member too.
We hope to see you soon.
We acknowledge that we are working on the land of the Wathaurong/Wada Wurrung people, and pay our respects to their elders past, present and future. We also pay our respects to all Aboriginal people currently living on this Country.

The threat of Phytophthora cinnamomi is real and spreading. Please practice good hygiene when visiting the park to avoid spreading it to other places.
Bunya tree 'skeletons' spread beyond national parks, but hope for ancient trees on the horizon

A "heartbreaking" stand of "skeletons" along one of the Sunshine Coast's most popular scenic drives is sobering evidence that bunya pine dieback is spreading, while a team of experts search for ways t...We went on a walk around the Ted Errey Nature Circuit today. We stopped at Nelson's Lookout for lunch. Unfortunately our view was marred by numerous bits of mandarin peel and a couple of napkins that some inconsiderate and lazy walker had deliberately dropped there. Citrus peel does not break down very rapidly, especially in a dry rocky place like the lookout. If you can cart the stuff in, you should be able to carry the waste out!!!! I managed to cart mine and theirs out.
It’s probably unlikely, but would add that I always dry out my peels and they make excellent fire lighters!!
