In this first episode of Finding Melbourne’s Nature, we walk through Darebin Parklands with Peter Wiltshire, long-time ranger with the Darebin Creek Management Committee.

Once a quarry and later a tip, Darebin Parklands is now a much-loved nature reserve with wetlands, thriving wildlife and rich native flora.

Peter has spent over 40 years working in this landscape. As we walk, he shares his journey as a ranger, the history of the reserve, and what it has taken to restore and care for this place over time.

Finding Melbourne’s Nature is a walking conversation series exploring the wild places within the city.

In each episode, guests choose a reserve and walk together with Traditional Owners, conservationists, scientists and community voices.

They talk about what lives there, what has changed, what needs protecting, and the personal journeys that have shaped their connection with nature.

This trailer introduces the series and what to expect as the walks begin.
