The Socius Garden Group from Porirua visited the Reserve this week and after being introduced by past Chair, Robin Gunston, to the Reserve they took a brief walk to look at new plantings and the Nursery. Their organiser declared it to be the best tour they have ever done!
DOC have been onsite this week and are complementing the newly painted kiosk there by some good strimming and mowing of the Reserve entrance!
City Nature Challenge results are in!
City Nature Challenge has concluded for this year- thanks to all those who took part- several new species were added to the Reserve list!
From April 24–27, over 106,350 people across 754 cities, 61 countries, and 6 continents stepped outside and noticed the nature around them. Together, they made over 3 million observations of 76,422+ species, including more than 5,688 that are rare, threatened, or endangered.
After just one weekend, we now have a vivid, global snapshot of biodiversity — one that scientists, decisionmakers, land managers, and more around the world will use to help protect at-risk species and habitats. Explore more City Nature Challenge results!
