Fairy village at Christchurch forest to be relocated - help needed

Jake Kenny Reporter from Community News

A touch of magic that sprung up in a Christchurch forest during lockdown has to be relocated.

Hundreds of mini fairy homes appeared on trees at Bottle Lake in April, adding to a small pre-existing collection.

Where the creations first came from remains a mystery, but making them became a popular pastime for children and families during lockdown, and now they need to be moved due to logging in the area.

Christchurch City Council has set up a working bee for 10am on Tuesday 29 September, where families are invited to help with the relocation.

“They’ve brought a touch of magic to the forest,’’ forest ranger Warren Hunt said.
