Cumberland State Forest is a unique urban forest located 30km north west of Sydney. Boasting 40 hectares of beautiful bushland and a huge array of bird life, there are easy-to-medium grade scenic walking tracks.

Discover what forests in NSW have to offer – forests provide timber, employment, habitat, clean air, water and a place to be. Come along to one of our activities.

 * == what defines an insect ==
 * == insect sight and smell senses ==
 * == the sounds made by insects ==
 * == how different mouth parts are adapted to their feeding ==
 * == lifecycles ==
 * == how mini beasts camouflage themselves ==
 * == their role in the food chain. ==
