Help with our War on Weeds to eradicate highly invasive weeds within Le Roys Bush and from its "halo"

Despite years of work by volunteers and council contractors, a host of weed species continue to invade Le Roys Bush, Hinemoa Park and other local bush areas. Please help us tackle these weeds - click on Protecting Le Roys Bush and its "halo" from invasive pests

Protecting kauri and other ecology in Le Roys Bush

Le Roys Bush has a number of kauri in various parts of the reserve.

Council and volunteers are trying hard to protect from kauri dieback disease.

Help us protect the kauri, the streams and the bush by:

• keeping to the track at all times

• keeping dogs and other pets on a leash at all times (they can destroy fish and gecko habitats if they go off track)

• keeping out of any closed tracks (as at 2022, the Le Roy Terrace track is still closed to all people)

You can read more about kauri protection and track closures on the page pestfreekaipatiki.org.nz/kauridieback

and about track closures on pestfreekaipatiki.org.nz/explorer

This WiX page is a new site under development.  If you have the time, interest and skills, we would welcome someone to help us design and build this prototype site - please email us at leroysbush@gmail.com if you can help.
