May • OLGs Bushy Point, Otatara

Living Legends leaves a Legacy

In early September, Otatara Landcare Group’s restoration project at Bushy Point held it’s final Living Legends planting day. Started in the year of the Rugby World Cup, 2011, the annual programme of planting has been a great success, with our local rugby legend, Kevin Laidlaw planting the 25,000th native plant at this spring’s Living Legends Day. Take the time to visit this area, entry from Bryson Rd, off Marama Ave South, to see how successful the OLG’s restoration project has been. The partnership with the Living Legends team has produced amazing results.
