On Wednesday 2 November I led a small group of birdos through John Dickson Conservation Park, a 3.57ha Council park in the Forest Park area of North Tamborine. This park was set aside as a condition of approval of the subdivision of the area in about 1980.
For ten years from 1984 the TM Field Naturalists’ Club worked to convert the open kikuyu paddock into a natural area by planting native plants. The Club disbanded in the mid-1990s and no work was done in the park till a local community group began work there again in 2000.
