Wildlife in the area

​Lota House woodland is one of the few sections of remnant bush along the esplanade escarpment. It provides a corridor to the foreshore with its connections to the bay parks, Lota reserve and bushland at Tingalpa and Lota creeks. It is an important natural asset. There are well over 100 species in this valuable woodland corridor. Help Save Our Woodlands.
