The Pines Flora and Fauna Reserve, surrounded by the developing suburb of Frankston, contains a significant remnant of bushland on the Mornington Peninsula. As well as its conservation importance the reserve represents a unique passive recreational and educational asset in the greater metropolitan area of Melbourne.
Flora & Fauna - The reserve is a very important habitat for native fauna, particularly small mammals, reptiles and amphibians. Southern Brown Bandicoots, Swamp Wallabies, echidnas and Brushtail and Ringtail Possums are present but are often hard to find as they are not all active during the day. The reserve is also a potential habitat for the endangered New Holland Mouse.
Much of the vegetation of the reserve is remnant heathland with Silver-leaf Stringybark and Black Sheoak. It is still in a reasonable natural condition and contains many species of plants now rare on the Mornington Peninsula.
