1/ Weed control and under planting of the gully slope at the end of Sexton Road. There are already established canopy trees Kauri, Totara and Miro with existing understory plants of Mapou, Pate and several Coprosma varieties. The area is badly invested with ivy and aluminium weed.
2/ Get an all weather track up the gully from the foot bridge. This is going to be a necessity if we are going to run a trapping program for animal pests starting this winter as we are hoping.
3/ Form a trust and then apply for some funding.
4/ Keep the weeded area free of weeds and expand the weeded area.
5/ More planting
6/ Record the existing flora, assess the stream to determine it’s ecological health, set up a bird census program and do a survey to see if there are native bats in the gully (need a track for this as well).
