Eynesbury Grey Box Forest

The Eynesbury Grey Box Forest is a 288-hectare woodland that is protected within the Eynesbury township. This heritage-listed forest is a critically important example of the woodlands that once covered the vast volcanic plains west of Melbourne. The forest is characterized by its mature Grey Box eucalypts and provides a vital sanctuary for a diverse range of native birds, mammals, and reptiles. A network of walking and cycling trails meanders through the forest, allowing residents and visitors to experience this unique and precious ecosystem. To protect the wildlife, dogs must be kept on a leash and are not permitted in all areas. Entry is free.
