Destination Southern Highlands' Spring Time Trail offers locals and tourists alike ideas on how to explore the area while adhering to social distancing requirements.
A highlight of the trail will be the open public and private gardens.
This includes eight stunning green spaces from Bundanoon to Wildes Meadow.
The campaign also encourages visitors to spot a platypus in the Wingecarribee River, see a baby duckling near Lake Alexandra and spot birds at Cecil Hoskins and Barren Grounds Nature Reserves.
Another focus of the campaign is to increase visitation to the region's markets, nurseries, wineries, restaurants, retailers, golf courses, walking trails and cycling paths.
Meanwhile a popular staple of Tulip Time will continue over three days next month.
The Country Women's Association Bowral branch will run a spring stall from Saturday, October 3 to Monday, October 5 from 10am to 2pm at 40 Wingecarribee Street, Bowral.
There will be takeaway devonshire teas, jams, pickles and craft for sale.
The members of Can Assist will also run a merchandise stall in Corbett Plaza on September 26 and 27 and from October 3 to 5 from 10am to 4pm.
Shoppers can purchase calendars, handmade Japanese cards, candles, tulip-shaped ceramic pots in two sizes, an assortment of conserves, a book on roses, linen tea towels with a tulip design as well as botanic prints and cards.
