Wirraminna Environmental Education Centre

Wirraminna Environmental Education Centre Open to visitors every day of the year, the Wirraminna park is 4 hectares in total, with a large dam, A free BBQ is available, with a vista over the big dam.

Established in 1995, Wirraminna Environmental Education Centre is set on an old stock reserve and public watering place. Wirraminna is located in Burrumbuttock, approximately 32 km northwest of Albury, NSW. Open to visitors every day of the year, the Wirraminna park is 4 hectares in total, with a large dam, wetlands, natural woodlands and native garden beds. It also provides a popular outing for c

lubs and organisations in the district, and many locals and visitors to the region call in to explore the gardens and learn about our local environment. Extensive interpretative signage around the park tells the environmental story. Developed and maintained by local volunteers, Wirraminna presents a model for local Landcare projects that aim to restore native vegetation and wetlands on farms to redress problems of declining biodiversity. The gardens and natural woodlands contain many locally rare native shrubs, wildflowers and grasses which attract a range of animals such as native bees, frogs around the waterways, skinks, many bird species, possums and the threatened Squirrel Glider. Upon entry to the park, the Visitors Centre is full of interpretative signage and art pieces. The park is continually evolving and improving our story of the beauty and interest of our natural environment and how it can be protected and enhanced. We are always in need of volunteers to help keep Wirraminna running. Our volunteer day is Wednesdays usually starting around 9.30am.

🌿 Celebrating 30 Years of Wirraminna - A Community Gem in Burrumbuttock! 🌿
Darryl Jacob, one of Wirraminna’s founders, captures the spirit of what makes this place so special:
“It’s the commitment of the volunteers that we are most proud of. Without them there wouldn’t be anything here. When you look around everything has been done by the volunteers. No one got paid to do any of this. We are so very thankful to all of them who made this happen.”
🙏 Huge thanks to Vanessa Hayden for visiting us and capturing part of Wirraminna’s story so beautifully.
