Planting barren or weed infested gullies does much to enhance the Tamahere environment in general as well as individual properties.
The return of tui to the area for the first time in decades this year (2009) is testament to the value of such work locally, in Hamilton and throughout the Waikato.
If you are keen on gully restoration, don’t know where to start or need help with efforts underway, the Hamilton city gully restoration programme has much useful information.
Tamahere also has a community plant nursery, open on the first Sunday of the month, 1.30pm to 3.30pm, Devine Road, behind the Tamahere Community Centre.
