Barry Wood, with support from Matthew Brajkovich, has been very busy clearing the lower part of the Windross Walkway and the length of Pa Walkway of pest plants in preparation for the planting of native plants to begin in April 2023.

When Barry and Matthew were clearing the lower part of the Windross Walkway of very large privet and other pest plants they were delighted to discover that there were a number of tall nīkau present that had been hidden from view by the larger pest plants. The image below shows the large amount of pest plant material that they removed.
