Hi,
First of all thanks to all those who came and helped with the planting on Saturday 27th May 2009.

The weather forecast was bad . But we were committed to the day, and in the end it was fine.

We had a great turnout, and about 30 people had the 500 trees and shrubs planted in less than 2 hours.

Thanks to David Bowden who helped and provided the very welcome refreshments.
Our thanks to the ARC EIF funding and a donation from the Stratten family for this planting.

We will have another planting day on Saturday 25th July 2009 which is funded by Auckland City Parks via David Bowden.
Hope to see you there.

We have also been extremely fortunate to be granted funds for two additional seats and educational signage in the Reserve from the Eastern Bays Community Board who have been very generous in their support of us.

Kind regards

Yolanda Thorp


Waiatarua Reserve – A unique haven in the midst of the city for people and birds.
We are a community group working towards making the Waiatarua Reserve a unique ecological jewel for residents and for future generations by;

  • Planting native trees and shrubs to provide year round food for birds and insects
  • Carrying out a volunteer pest control program with Auckland City Council Parks to control rats and possums which decimate the birdlife and new tree growth.

The Reserve is a great place to come walking the dog, running, playing with the family and we also want to make it a place where forest and wetland birds, butterflies and insects can live and flourish.

We welcome new members. If you would like to contact us and / or to join in on any community plantings or the volunteer pest control program, please email us at Waiatarua.Reserve@gmail.com

Our Vision
Native Wood Pigeon Kereru and Red Admiral Kahukura could be seen in the midst of our city.
