==History and Management==

On [[15 September]] [[2001]], an agreement was reached between the [[NSW Government of New South Wales]], [[Baulkham Hills Shire Council]] and descendants of the [[Darug]] to settle an outstanding [[native title]] claim (N94/6)which dated back to 1994.

The ''Darling Mills State Forest'' and ''Excelsior Reserve'' (with the exception of the Ted Horwood Reserve and the Eric Mobbs Reserve) were combined and made into the Bidjigal Reserve by a deed of agreement signed on [[4 December]] [[2003]] on behalf of the Minister for Lands. Signatories to that deed were the Crown, Baulkham Hills Shire Council and Bundeluk of the Darug tribe. Other signatories were [[Telstra]] and Integral Energy (due to the presence of their infrastructure in the reserve). The Forestry (Darling Mills State Forest Revocation) Bill, which was passed by NSW state government on [[2 March]] [[2005]] allowed that land to be included in the reserve, as required by the deed.
