About Heinrich Reserve
Historic Stone Features at Heinrich Reserve
Heinrich Reserve retains rockeries and stone paths that came from the former Heinrich property. Beside stone steps in the reserve, the inscription "Adolph Heinrich 1900" can be seen, tying the stonework to that name and year. Some of these rockeries and paths now sit within the reserve on Bayside Drive, so the stonework is part of what visitors encounter when they walk through the site. These stone features remain as physical traces of the property that once stood on the land, giving the reserve a link to its earlier history.
Natural Heritage Significance at Heinrich Reserve
Heinrich Reserve has natural heritage significance, a value attached to the reserve itself. The reserve and the neighbouring Matthei property both have research potential, so the land offers scope for further study of its natural features. Heinrich Reserve and Matthei are noted together for this research value, which links the two sites in terms of what they can reveal about the local environment. Heinrich Reserve's natural heritage value is therefore recognised alongside its historic stonework.
Wildlife Protection Area Status at Heinrich Reserve
