Tiromoana Bush Field Trip
17 April 2023
On 17 April we enjoyed a perfect autumn day of warm, windless weather for our long-planned field trip to Tiromoana Bush Reserve.
The event was facilitated by Transwaste Canterbury which runs this significant conservation and restoration project at the Kate Valley landfill site. With expert commentary from our trip guides.
Emeritus Professor David Norton and Fraser Madigan, we learned more about the vision for the project and its practical management. Attendees were stimulated to ask plenty of questions about how the experience at Tiromoana can be applied to other biodiversity actions in the district, bearing in mind various challenges such as pest control, plant sourcing, and factoring in changing climate to ensure the bush’s resilience into the future.
Huge thanks and appreciation to Transwaste Canterbury for help organizing and funding the day!
