It's been a couple of weeks since but we kicked off this years planting season on the 27th February with a fabulous group from DOC helping us in a new area on the hill this year.

Between the planting day on the 27th and with us continuing to pant the following week we have managed to get just under 4,000 plants in the ground already.

The lack of a summer means the plants are getting plenty of water and the odd sunny day which is giving them a great start in their homes.

Thank you again Department of Conservation team for the amazing work!

We would also like to thank Bluff Sand Supply & Cartage LTD for the awesome work of clearing our planting rows through the gorse and broom.

We would love to see you all there 😃

Happy New Year from all of us at BHMET.

2026 has started really well: four kākā seen at the top of the Tōpuni Track - including one juvenile; South Island robins seen near Stirling Point; dotterel chick at the Oyster Festival site.

We're making real progress - we're planning a blitz on stoats to try and bring their numbers down. We always need trap line and planting volunteers - shout out if you want to 'walk with purpose' on the hill!

Happy New Year.

With the mix of rain and warm weather out plants in the nursery are booming, saying that we will be holding a community open day late Jan early Feb with the opportunity to purchase native plants and grasses.

If you are keen to get in and plant up now give us a private message to arrange a visit to the nursery.

At this stage we have plenty of Flax, large and small grasses, Kakabeak, Kowhai. Kahikatea, Coprosmas, Broadleaf, Cabbage Trees and other native species.

Get hold of us if you are interested.

Have an awesome day!
