15 year Anniversary of Walking Track at Rogers Reserve



This December marks 15 years since the official opening of the walking trail at the Charles & Motee Rogers Bushland Reserve (and 22 years since the land was donated to Crows Nest Shire Council).


Without the foresight and generosity of Mr & Mrs Rogers, this precious patch of remnant bushland would not have survived - we need to always remember and be grateful for what they did to preserve this endangered ecosystem so future generations could continue to enjoy and appreciate its value.


The bushwalking trail at Charles & Motee Rogers Bushland Reserve was officially opened by Crows Nest Shire Council Mayor Cr Geoff Patch in December 2001.
