The EJ Foote Memorial Sanctuary is a flora and fauna reserve. It is known to support two hundred and seventy two indigenous flora species, a haven for over one hundred species of birds and a significant habitat for small mammals including gliders and swamp wallabies. Regeneration of the land in the last 80 years (mostly by volunteers) has brought back the forest after significant disruption. Continuing work promotes the future of endangered and endemic species including the Richmond Birdwing Butterfly.

The association is a community group established to jointly manage the Foote Sanctuary with Sunshine Coast Council.

Our goals are to

  • preserve Foote Sanctuary's natural environment and eco-system;

  • honour its history;

  • and promote community involvement and enjoyment of the reserve.
