Natural History of Dubbo Area

The Dubbo area offers many great opportunities to experience our natural environment including wildlife, plants and geology.  Many remnant bushland areas provide habitat for State and Federally-listed Endangered and Threatened species. 

Much of this information was previously published in the first DFNCS book 'The Dubbo Region: A Natural History' (1984).  A second book, the Plants and Animals of the Dubbo Region, was published by the DFNCS in 2012 and a second edition in 2016.  To buy a copy, head to a local bookstore or purchase directly from us via the form at Plants and Animals of Dubbo Region
