Belfast Reserve in Hillsborough Reopens After Seven-Year Closure: A Natural Gem Thrives Again The Belfast Reserve, a unique patch of native bush in Aucklands central isthmus, has reopened after being closed for seven years due to damage from storms and falling trees. The reserve, known for its mix of old and new growth and rare plants like king ferns and mangeao, was a beloved natural space for locals. The reopening celebration featured pest trapping demos and kids tree hunts, with Friends of Belfast Reserve now focusing on encouraging backyard pest control to help native birds like the kākā return. The repairs, which cost $725,000 and took three months, involved rerouting tracks, clearing debris, and building a new bridge. The reserves thriving future is now the hope, with ongoing efforts to support Aucklands native biodiversity. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
