The Pendergrast Memorial Heritage Trust (PMHT) Park is a 21 hectare ( 52 acre) tract of land donated by local farmer and conservationist Jim Pendergrast. The purpose of PMHT is to promote understanding, appreciation and enjoyment of the natural environment through outdoor education, environment and conservation and community development
Around 15 hectares of the Park is currently native bush, with a planting programme in place to re-forest another 4 hectares. Around 2 hectares of flat land will be left as grassland to allow for the development of buildings, car parking and to provide a clean and environmentally friendly campsite for the benefit of schools, universities, and the public.
