Forde, a master-planned community, offers 11 main parks and 39 hectares of wetlands and nature reserves, all designed to encourage eco-friendly activity. Every home is conveniently located within 200 meters of a landscaped park, wetland, or nature reserve, with 29% of the suburb dedicated to green space.
Mulligans Flat Nature Reserve is rich in natural habitat, Indigenous history, and vibrant European heritage. It is one of the ACT's premier bird-watching spots, home to the rare regent honeyeater and Forde's own superb fairy wren. Along with nearby Goorooyarroo, these reserves shelter four native bird species, as well as rare shingleback lizards, echidnas, frogs, and various reptiles.
