Park Rise Bush – restoration

Park Rise Bush is the 5 hectare bush remnant between the top of Park Rise and Kowhai Rd. CPBS is working on the restoration of this area. See Park Rise Bush Restoration Plan

Progress to date includes

  • a contractor has controlled pampas grass near the 7th fairway and killed many privet and cotoneaster weed trees
  • volunteer weed control work days to control ginger, climbing asparagus, wattles, monkey apple, privet, moth plant etc
  • planting, mainly around the Park Rise cul de sac area
  • a contractor removed wattles around the 6th tee area
  • a DOC Community Conservation Fund grant has funded a contractor to control a real mess of weeds in the gully coming off the 7th and 8th fairways, and this has been planted winter 2010. The contractor will keep the weeds under control here for the next year at least
  • planting in various areas in 2010
