Specific aims of the 'Bushy Point Restoration Project' include linking two nationally significant areas of remnant native totara forest and to provide an extended habitat for birds and other native species.
Planting started in 2000 on land that has been leased from the Department of Conservation (DOC).
Several thousand native plants have been planted by community volunteers. A public walking track has been created and maintained, with interpretation signs located along the way. A pond has been excavated to provide a focal point and encourage greater biodiversity. With the help of Environment Southland pest control officers, the Group's volunteers have also set up and maintain animal pest control over the surrounding 90 hectares of bush and estuary edge.
There is always lots of volunteer work to do. If you are interested in helping contact Jojoes the cache owners.
The cache is a 1li Sistema hidden in another container. Please replace the lid of that container carefully to keep the rain out.
