Wednesday May 3 2017 Latest Christchurch news at www. .kiwi BAY HARBOUR PAGE 11 WORK: The city council need 8400 protective cages constructed by winter. Help needed for Port Hills replant RESTORATION work is about to begin in Victoria Park, with more than 7000 plants needing to be replanted. The park, on Dyers Pass Rd, was partially destroyed in the Port Hills fires in February and the section destroyed needs replanting, to do this the city council is hoping to involve volunteers in the project. Protective cages need to be put around the newly planted trees to protect them during the winter for a better chance of survival and to stop them from being eaten by hares. The city council is calling for volunteers to take part in making the cages, Port Hills Ranger Di Carter said it was a big task to get them finished before winter. “There’s a lot of preparation work that needs to be done before we can start replanting and cage-making is just one of the tasks we need to tackle. We’re probably going to need about 8400 cages so it’s a big job and one we’re hoping the public will help us with,’’ Ms Carter said. From now until May 13 the city council will be holding daily cage-making sessions at the Victoria Park ranger headquarters where people can go along with the help of the park rangers. “We will be running morning and afternoon sessions and providing all the equipment needed. We can take up to 15 volunteers at each session and we welcome kids getting involved, as long as they are aged over 10,’’ Ms Carter said.
