Community garden
Improvements ongoing
Garden beds have been established with fruits, vegetables and herbs for the community to enjoy. We encourage the community to take part in our monthly Garden Gatherings and share in the harvest. Please see this page for more information.
Cambooya Railway Grassland Reserve 
Ongoing commitment
The Grassland Reserve just to the north of Cambooya is a small scientific reserve, home to various threatened flora and fauna and one of the few remaining areas of once extensive bluegrass grasslands on the Darling Downs. Cambooya Landcare projects conducted on the reserve aim to protect these conservation values by managing invasive weed species such as Johnson Grass. Regular burning, weed control and monitoring through vegetation and bird surveys are conducted. Cambooya Landcare gratefully acknowledges funding received from Toowoomba Regional Council to assist with activities on the reserve.

Cambooya Landcare Association and its members acknowledge the long-standing connection to land, waters and community of the Giabul people—traditional custodians of the country on which we live and work. We pay respect to Elders both past and present.
