Tree Cheers for Urumau!
With shovels in hand and sunshine overhead, volunteers gathered at Urumau Reserve to turn a hillside into habitat.
The hillside above Foster Terrace, once rank grass and weeds, is being steadily replaced by bush, not only expanding habitat for birds and beetles but increasing the scenic value for those using the extensive network of walking and mountain-bike trails. These are soon to be joined by a new loop track through Port Company land beyond the northern edge of the Reserve.
