The Dandenong Ranges, to the east of Melbourne, is one of the most beautiful areas in Australia. Scenic roads and walking tracks meander through towering Mountain Ash and crystal clear streams trickle through beautiful fern gullies.

In this magnificent forest, majestic trees tower into the skies and exquisite tree-ferns rise above a range of unique native plants.

This stunning area provides a critical home to an array of spectacular birds, flora and fauna.

Every year, over 3 million tourists come to the region of the Dandenong Ranges and Yarra Valley. However, these precious ranges are under serious threat from environmental weeds,

and in particular, English Ivy.
