About Rosedale Reserve
Native Bushland Along the Cooks River at Rosedale Reserve
Rosedale Reserve has a stretch of native bushland along the Cooks River, built up through replanting that began at the reserve in early 2000. The planting is a mixed canopy of native shrubs and low-growing trees, with open areas of grasses and rush-like plants between them. The bushland gives food and habitat to native birds, animals and insects, and it needs ongoing upkeep. Community planting days are held at the reserve, with meetings at the change rooms near Riverside Road. The bushland is the reserve's most distinctive feature, and it runs along the river edge.
