What’s happening
We’re planting native species in the lower section of the reserve near the Laburnum Glen entrance and installing two small bridges over this area and the existing informal path.
This area becomes waterlogged after rainfall, making mowing difficult and limiting access. Native planting is a sustainable, long-term solution that improves drainage, supports biodiversity, and reduces maintenance.
We will also be formalising the path along the far back edge of the reserve with timber edging and gravel to improve accessibility for all users.
What to expect
- Temporary fenced work area
- Occasional noise and onsite activity
- Access to the rest of the reserve remains open.
Join our community planting day
Later in the project we’ll be hosting a community planting day where residents can help shape the future look of this part of the reserve. Details will be available here once confirmed.
