Casuarina Reserve

At Casuarina Reserve, a careful balance between nature and recreation has been created. A small bushland area has been regenerated not only for wildlife habitat but to display indigenous species which are suitable to plant in local home gardens. With a grassy area, playground and picnic tables, this reserve is a popular place of recreation.

History

In 1991, only 50 indigenous plants species were recorded in the reserve as environmental weeds had overgrown the bushland area. During the next eight years, a small group of local residents, Friends of Casuarina Reserve, revegetated the area with indigenous plants. For such a small reserve, Casuarina Reserve now supports a surprising diversity of over 130 indigenous species. You will find many examples of plants you can use in your own garden.
