[2] Cecil Hoskins had been a resident at Exeter and Moss Vale and had a keen interest in gardens.

For example, he planned the unique garden setting for the Portland Cement Works at Berrima, he was responsible for the planning and development of Seymour Park in Moss Vale and was Chairman of the Berrima District Committee of the Remembrance Driveway.

Cecil Hoskins Nature Reserve is an important resting and feeding place for many migratory species, particularly waterbirds.

Noteworthy sightings recorded here include the blue-billed duck and the rare Australasian bittern.
