The southern part of the locality, alongside Main Creek, is part of the Mornington Peninsula National Park called Greens Bush, a native bushland area first set aside for conservation in 1974 and supporting the largest population of eastern grey kangaroos on the Mornington Peninsula. Several walking tracks provide access to the area.{{cite web|url=http://parkweb.vic.gov.au/explore/parks/mornington-peninsula-national-park|title=Mornington Peninsula National Park|author=Parks Victoria|access-date=2011-09-14}}
