The Redwood Forest near Warburton is a planted forest featuring towering Californian Redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) trees that were first planted over 90 years ago alongside Bishop Pine plantations. These redwoods, though not native to Australia, create a striking and serene environment with their tall, straight trunks. The forest offers visitors the chance to enjoy a cooler climate, explore shaded paths, and spot local wildlife such as Grey-Headed Flying Foxes, orchids, and occasionally Monarch Butterflies during summer. It is a popular destination for day-trippers from Melbourne and locals alike, providing an opportunity to relax, picnic, and immerse yourself in nature.
