The Friends of Bald Hill Reserve is a newly formed group of local people who are passionate about protecting this unique, shire-owned bushland reserve. The Group organises events to raise awareness of the reserve and what it has to offer in our community, in addition to work on developing walking trails, weed management and in the future, setting up a picnic area at the Mount St Mary’s Lane entrance.
