Lower half 1st gully - includes the bottom carpark
27 m² planted so far.
Where we are now
The lower half of gully 1, flat to sloping, including the car park at the foot of the walking track. A first patch of planting has gone in a few metres from the sculpture.
What it becomes
Cover on the gully floor either side of the track, in place of mown grass.
Why it is in the plan
The heavy-footed moa was installed and blessed here in November 2025, the walking track starts here, and it is the easiest ground in the project to reach with a trailer full of plants.
