Sherbrooke Forest

Sherbrooke Forest is a wet sclerophyll forest in Victoria with large Mountain Ash trees and a thick layer of ferns, climbers, and shrubs beneath the canopy. This layered structure keeps the forest floor moist and sheltered.

Victoria's government protected the forest in 1958 as a conservation reserve to maintain its ecological value. This designation helped safeguard native plant communities from damage and loss.

The forest is a cherished place for local people who actively participate in conservation efforts and help maintain the walking trails year-round.

Several walking paths wind through the forest and connect designated picnic areas with tables and information signs. The trails are well-marked, making it easy for visitors to explore different routes.

Lyrebirds live in this forest and have the remarkable ability to accurately reproduce sounds from their surroundings, including other bird calls and forest sounds. This makes them a special encounter while walking through the forest.
