WHY SPONSOR A RESERVE?

* There may be other environmental opportunities, but THERE ARE VERY FEW OPPORTUNITIES TO SPONSOR A SPECIAL RESERVE...A RAINFOREST RESERVE IN SYDNEY, or even elsewhere in Australia!

* There is, at present, no Rainforest Reserve in Sydney, yet Sydney has the highest population density in Australia! A close association with a the Greenwich Rainforest Reserve would achieve high impact for a sponsor.

* An association with a Greenwich Rainforest Reserve will last longer than the life the company! The Greenwich Rainforest Reserve, once established, will ALWAYS BE THERE! Your company will always be in the mind of the public when they visit the Reserve. They will see your company name featured prominently at each entrance to the Reserve.

* This proposed Reserve, although at present a privately owned block of untouched bushland, is contiguous with the Upper Lane Cove Bushland Park.

* 35 Innes Rd has always been The Park for the birds and wildlife. It is part of the territory for the Endangered Powerful Owl (confirmed in a letter to the GRRC by Walter Boles, zoologist, Australia Museum). Approximately 100 metres downstream from 35 Innes Rd are endangered Hygrocybe. You are helping to save not just the habitat of Tawny Frog Mouths, numerous species of Parrots, Ring Tail and Brush Tail Possums, and numerous smaller birds, but also to protect the habitat and supportive environment of endangered species!

* As Sydney grows, the bush will not grow. It will diminish! Single dwelling houses surrounding the Park will become multi story dwellings. This is inevitable over time. Look at other cities, and compare Sydney now to what it was 50 years ago. The unique biodiversity of the Upper Lane Cove Bushland Park can not survive if it is further diminished. Your contribution is ensuring its very survival into future millennia! It will ensure this natural forest is not replaced by a future concrete jungle!

* A Greenwich Rainforest Reserve can be accessible to handicapped people via a viewing platform, which will allow wheelchair access to the birds and wildlife. Its close proximity to Royal North Shore Hospital will allow a rare recreational amenity with associated benefits for sponsors.

* This is not just a reserve. With your help this will be a special Rainforest Reserve, contiguous to the Lane Cove Bushland Park. Sponsorship will allow a fascinating bush walk through rainforest, wet sclerophyll, endangered hygrocybe territory, open canopy wild flowers, down to mangroves at the mouth of the Lane Cove River. This biodiversity will attract national and international visitors. The sponsor will be in their minds when everyone visits this special Reserve.

* A sponsor can become known for its ongoing support as a partner for the environment, at a time when the value of retaining pristine ecology is being increasingly realised, and becoming extremely rare in the midst of a heavily populated metropolitan environment.

With careful marketing, sponsors can show their support for this project to existing and potential customers, thereby increasing their business share and clientele. This will improve the sponsors image, by showing the public it is prepared to put back into the community, and into the dwindling natural environment.

A sponsor will have future opportunities to use this special Rainforest Reserve for ongoing publicity and PR initiatives.
