PROJECTS
Within Wellington City, a large expanse of hillside,
valley, stream and parkland called Trelissick Park is
being restored to create a beautiful wilderness area.
Groups involved in this restoration are the Highland Park
Progressive Association, Ngaio Progressive Association
Inc, Royal Forest and Bird Protection Society, Wellington
Botanical Society and the Wadestown Residents Association.
Wellington City Council supports the group financially
and undertakes structural work such as strengthening stream
banks, maintaining and upgrading walking tracks, erecting
signs and information boards and by supplying native plants
for forest restoration.
A Wellington City Council volunteer ranger also works
in the Trelissick Park. Peter Reimann was appointed in
2001 and can be contacted on 938 9602.
The projects undertaken by the Trelissick Park group
all work towards the group's Five
Year Plan
Adopt a Spot Scheme
This scheme is designed to encourage people to adopt
their own spot within the park to look after. This can
be done at any time convenient to them rather than having
to work in with a working bee schedule. You can choose
both the size and location of your spot.
The adopt-a-spot coordinator is Peter Reimann at 938
9602 or at peter.reimann@paradise.net.nz
