    The 'Mount Evelyn Recreation Picnic and Camping Reserve' is one of the Prime Breeding and Roosting sites for one family of our Powerful Owls.
    Historically there have always been families of these most majestic birds within this area which is protected by an 'Environmentally Significant Overlay' within the Planning Scheme mainly due ( but not exclusively) to these very vulnerable but unique Australian animals.
    The area has been deemed to be a 'Powerful Owl Management Area' ( POMA) and MEEPPA have consistently monitored the welfare of these 'families' for years.
    Mr. Reserve is shown feeding Ms. Reserve who will be also sitting most of the day in some of the designated and well mapped hollows.
    Mount Evelyn has always been famous for its Powerful Owl families as well as our 'Owl Land Reserve' and it is important for their future sustainability that the community at large, as well as the Local Council, continue to provide the right environmental safeguards to preserve these unique animals Now and into the future.
