Dalmore Reserve - A Native Bush Walk

Flanked by suburban homes and Aquinas College, Dalmore Reserve is 6.2ha of DCC owned land that is steep, south facing and has only one official entrance. In the lower reaches of the reserve, native-dominated broadleaved forest has naturally regenerated; whilst the top area has been replanted with natives in two stages. Dalmore Reserve has quite an interesting restoration history, as well as rather a lot of invasive ‘weeds’ encroaching from the neighbouring properties. Join members of Wild Dalmore Reserve, a small group of neighbours who enjoy working to restore the native vegetation of the site through planting as well as chemical-free weeding to facilitate natural native forest regeneration. Please note, this is a steep site, the ground is uneven and likely to be slippery. Meet at the entrance to the reserve, 20 Allenby Avenue, Liberton.
