Next door to Glenrock's rainforest
Glenrock State Conservation Area, on Merewether's southern side, holds the last surviving pocket of coastal rainforest in the region, home to bandicoots, bats and gliders.
Almost all of the park is included on the state heritage register, and the National Parks and Wildlife Service runs hazard reduction burns there.
Gardens that back onto bush are where a tree's condition matters most, because a failing limb can land on either side of the fence.

Merewether questions
Bush weeds, fire danger and the park edge
Is Glenrock ever shut?
It is always open but may have to close at times due to poor weather or fire danger. Gardens beside the bush are worth keeping clear of dead timber for the same reason.
What weeds does the park fight?
NPWS targets high priority weed species, such as bitou bush, in Glenrock. Garden plants that spread over the fence feed the same problem.
Can trees near the house be cleared for bushfire?
Only where the block is in a designated entitlement area. The Rural Fire Service says to check its online tool on the day you are clearing, because the area and the rules can change.
