Le Roy's Bush Track Upgrade - Stage 2

John Gillon from

As we move into Alert Level 3, some council projects will be starting up again, but with protocols in place to prevent viral transmission.
From the end of this week, stage 2 of the Le Roy's Bush Reserve track upgrades will begin, and will continue in stages until late-August. A helicopter will be used to drop in materials over the next week.
The tracks from Dudding Sportsfield to the end of the new boardwalk that was built in stage 1 (see highlighted area on the attached map: S12, S14) and the track from Fairfax Ave (S13) will be closed until work is completed at the end of June.
When that has been completed, the tracks from Dudding Sportsfield to Wilding Ave (S16, S17, S18, S19) will be closed for work until approximately the end of July. The track from Onewa Road (S2) will be worked on in July or August.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
