Locals collecting litter regularly at the Reserve

Local resident, Liam is one of the many local people in the Highfields region who picks up litter in the Rogers Reserve and surrounding streets and parks, to keep them looking their best.  Thankyou Liam for this update on your work.

"  Out this beautiful morning in Highfields walking through Charles and Motee Rogers Bushland Reserve, near the library. I picked up half a bag of rubbish. McDonald's cups, pizza boxes, ice cream wrappers. Plenty of rubbish for everyone to pickup. We can bury our heads in the sand or we can help Mother Nature."  Liam Kelly, 27 July 2017

Last Chance to have your Say about the Future of the Charles & Motee Rogers Busland Reserve

Tomorrow, Friday 7th July is the communities last chance to have their say about the future and fate of the Charles & Motee Rogers Bushland Reserve.

On behalf of the Friends of Rogers Reserve and the extended Rogers family, I would like to thank everyone who has signed the petition, spoken up at meetings, written to councillors and the newspapers and offered support.  The rest now is up to the TRC Councillors.... may they be inspired by this poignant quote from former Crows Nest Shire Council Mayor Geoff Patch.
