The Park is a significant conservation area in the Mt Lofty Ranges and is home to many threatened species.

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.

We are incorporated and have changed our name to ‘Friends of Scott Creek Conservation Park Inc’. This brings some clear advantages to our group such as:

  • We retain our ‘.org’ identity
  • We can apply for grants in our own right without having to process the funds through other incorporated groups.

For some more up-to-date news on the Friends’ activities and how the Park is recovering after the 2021 bushfire, go to our Facebook page. It is updated regularly with beautiful photos of the Park’s wildlife and flora!

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.
