A volunteer group has set up bait stations in trees in the park. The bait stations are filled with enough bait to kill 4 possums - much less than the lethal dose for a cat. Plans to supplement this effort with a small 1080 drop in the inaccessible, southern end of the park have been put on hold. For safety reasons, casual hunting and motor vehicle use on Makara Peak is prohibited. An incredible amount of work has been completed by volunteers from Karori and further afield.
Volunteers are essential to the parks development.
Thank you all. An end of year work party and barbecue will be held at 10am Sunday 6th December at South Karori Road. Working bees will resume in mid-January. Makara Peak Park Advocate, Simon Kennett, phone 499 6376.
