Do go up to the woods today, you'll be in for a big surprise!
Puketoki Reserve, that gem of the Whakamarama district, is in the midst of a makeover! Western Bay Dist Council have provided the means and PD folk the muscle to upgrade the tracks. The short loop is now almost wheelchair accessible! The long loop is almost mud free. The endangered North Island Robin are multiplying thanks to the pest eradication by Friends of Puketoki and local councils.
And now the Natives are marching into the south paddock on the reserve area. If you love to improve our environment, keep 16 July and come to join the locals planting 10,000 little natives to become a cover crop for a future stunning addition to this reserve. For more information phone Colin 5526771.
