The Christchurch City Council purchased the wetland that was drained and used for farmland for many years in 2007. Weed control being the key factor to the success of this project. Boneseed, convolvulus, grass invasion needing constant control. The volunteers meet every Sunday between 3 and 5pm.
Our goal when going to the reserve is to plant as many plants as we can to have an impact on climate change and so we can attract more native birds.
The types of plants that we are planting are
- NZ native corokia
- NZ native cabbage tree
- Kapuka
- Native Southern Rata
- Native Kaikoura Ake Ake
and a few more.
Here is a few photos of what the reserve looks like and I will create another blogpost with more photo's of our cip group there.
