stock reserve

 

Location

Stock Reserve is a small reserve in the south western part of the island, adjacent to Anson Bay Rd.
 


Size

This reserve is only 0.7 hectares in size.


Geology

This reserve is fairly flat.  It has been shaped by a slow stream eroding the soil.  The pool and creek were both re-shaped in the early 1990s as part of earthworks done by St Barnabas Church Parish Council.


Why is it important for conservation?

Mission Creek runs through this reserve and Mission Pool is in it.  It is one of the few wetlands on the Island so it is important for native invertebrates. 

This reserve is important for grazing and watering the cattle that live on the roadsides because it has permanent fresh water.
