Rishworth Reserve
An area off Rishworth Street known as Rishworth Reserve that borders the Waiwhetū Stream has been developed as a native area to decrease effects of flooding.
Planting
Natives are planted and managed at the reserve. Regular weeding is a significant part of the management to ensure plants are able to grow effectively.
Mulch
Managing and suppressing weeds is helped by mulching.
Tracking and Trapping
We are continually tracking for pests such as rats and mustelids that will negatively impact the reserve.
We have a trapping regime and keep records of what is caught.
Bird Count
We are working on a bird count in the reserve.
