MOSAIC Wildflower walk - Explosives Reserve 2024

Explosives Reserve is one of Willoughby's largest natural areas, comprising 35 hectares of intact native bushland. Vegetation in the reserve provides a dense protective understorey, which is a haven for small birds and reptiles. The great diversity of small flowering plants offers a wide range of food sources for nectar and pollen eating insects, including moths, butterflies and bees.
