Society Visits Reserves
About 125 members of the Canterbury branch of the Forest and Bird Protection Society travelled 40 miles by bus around the Summit road scenic reserves on Saturday. The party visited the “I and Y” reserves on the Summit road, the Sign of the Kiwi, the Sign of the Bellbird, Kennedy’s Bush and the Ahuriri reserve, and examined the work of the City Council Reserves Department At Kennedy’s bush, Mr H. G. Gilpin, director of the Reserves Department told members of the history of the area and the work that the department was doing. Reserves were being fenced to keep out livestock and the department was concentrating on planting native trees of the type which grew in the area.
About 48 of the party walked four miles from the Ahuriri reserve down to the Ahuriri homestead. -*
