The Nature Conservation Council of NSW joined the campaign and collected tax-deductible donations toward the acquisition of 100 and 102 Rosedale Road.

The Blue Gum High Forest Group:

• has succeeded in having the Blue Gum High Forest ecological community listed as critically endangered under Commonwealth legislation,
• campaigned successfully to have both 100 and 102 Rosedale Road purchased by the NSW Government, and
• has nominated the Blue Gum High Forest at St Ives for listing on the NSW Heritage Register.
