Reserve Use

The JMR has been used for a variety of undergraduate teaching exercises.

Historically the JMR was utilised for Honours and postgraduate research projects. The Environmental Laboratories in Building 42 provide linked indoor and outdoor bird/animal enclosures, with associated viewing areas, and a number of sheds, aviaries and holding pens have been built in the north-eastern section of the Reserve to house research projects and assist with animal management. Aquatic mesocosms housed in a fenced enclosure at the Blackburn Road end of the reserve have been used for fish biology experiments. Currently there are no on-going research projects in the JMR.
