10 Changing Vegetation of Diamond Harbour Reserves

Walk 10 - Changing Vegetation of Diamond Harbour Reserves with Graeme Fraser, Diamond Harbour Reserve Management Committee

Follow the coastal track from Diamond Harbour to Purau then saunter back on a historic stock route to return via Morgan’s Gully. As a coordinator for the Diamond Harbour Reserve Management Committee and ‘Friends of Morgans and Sams Gullies’ Graeme will share with you the transformation that has occurred in the reserve area to healthy beauty! See the impacts that people have had on the changing flora as the walk traverses through different ecosystems, both managed and unmanaged. Enjoy stunning views of Lyttelton Harbour and Godley Head, as you learn how the human introduced vegetation dramatically alters the landscape and environment.
