A remnant patch of bush, Seymour Bushland Park is an island of native vegetation in a sea of otherwise cleared land like much of south-eastern Australia. The surrounding land has been cleared for either housing, industry or farmland. Because Seymour Bushland Park is almost the last refuge of bushland in the area, its 62 hectares have been set aside as a nature reserve of naturally regenerated bushland of predominantly grey and red box.
Some of the fauna Seymour Bushland Park is home to are Red Capped Robins, Rainbow Bee-eaters, Dollar Birds, Wallabies and Kangaroos. Flora includes, gums, wattles, bottle brushes and, in the spring, wildflowers such as purple bearded orchids . You can take a walk through this rich habitat via one of two walking paths. The short walk takes around twenty-five minutes, while the long walk takes roughly forty-five minutes.
