Initial Cleanup and Planting
Stage 1
Stage 1 of our project involved clearing rubbish and weeds from the initial planting area shown below and then backfilling this part with native plants. We held a community planting day in August 2021. Thanks to everyone who came along and made this such a success.
Before stage 2 pest species removal commenced, this harakeke (flax) bush was being strangled by honeysuckle and bindweed
After the weeding, the same bushes look a bit naked but in the long run, they will be able to breathe easier and thrive.
This Puriri is positively glowing and will soon be a tasty destination for indigenous manu, we're hoping to spot kererū in the reserve in years to come.
