Projects
Rimutaka Forest Park Charitable Trust has been active in bringing about many improvements to the Park and its environs.
So far to date, the Trust has:
- Built an information kiosk at the Catchpool Road car park
- Built toilets and cooking facilities at the Park campground
- Provided interactive information panels on the Nga Taonga te Ngahere, Five Mile Loop and Orongorongo Tracks
- Implemented and managed predator control programmes (opossum, cats, stoats, rats, hedgehogs and magpies)
- Developed an education resource kit
- Provided signage and publicity at Turakirae Scientific Reserve
- Provided active predation control of Catchpool Valley and environs
- Maintained an active trapping regime - targeting stoats - in the Turere Stream and Whakanui Stream areas
To deliver new initiatives we are always looking for keen volunteers - especially those who are as passionate as we are about conservation - to help and/ or manage new projects. If you would like to join us, click here, or call Bill McCabe on +64 4 564 5029.
