Welcome
The Friends of Scott Creek Conservation Park Inc (FoSCCP or the Friends) are a group of volunteers who have been protecting and restoring the natural wonders of Scott Creek Conservation Park since 1990.
The Park is a significant conservation area in the Mt Lofty Ranges and is home to many threatened species.

Information of our events and activities can be found in the Calendar or in our seasonal newsletter Bandicoot Tails.
We warmly welcome new Friends. If you would like to help the Friends and the Park recover and thrive, please visit Information About Volunteering or Donate.

At bushcare, we often wander around parts of the park you wouldn’t usually see, patrolling to remove priority weeds.
At bird banding, you might sit around chatting and listening to the birds and simply enjoying the sounds of nature between checking the nets and seeing the birds up close.

We recognise the traditional owners
The Friends of Scott Creek Conservation Park acknowledges that the land we work on is the traditional country of the Kaurna people of the Adelaide Plains. We pay respect to Elders past and present and recognise and respect their cultural heritage, beliefs and relationship with the land. We acknowledge that this is of continuing importance to the Kaurna people living today. We extend this respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who both visit the Park and also have an abiding relationship with it.
