About the reserve: Ōtanerua Reserve is a hidden gem! A beautiful area of native bush (classified as a Significant Ecological Area) with a stream along the boundary, it is full of birdlife and an amazing variety of native plants. The dedicated community group has been working away at removing invasive weeds including climbing asparagus, jasmine, Japanese honeysuckle, monkey apple and wattle trees, making great progress. Last winter, 250 native trees were planted in the grassy area at the front of the reserve to extend the bush whilst retaining a small grassed area for picnics. A further 200 plants were added to this site this year, plus 500 grasses were planted along the stream bank. Work continues to remove invasive weeds and also to control the weeds in the planting area.
