Charlesworth Reserve

The City Council has decided to plant trees at Charlesworth reserve because the Charlesworth reserve’s role is to provide nesting, roosting and feeding habitat for native and migratory birds. That also includes providing habitats for fish and marine life, lizards and other types of insects.

Facts

I also found this interesting that the Charlesworth reserve is named after Captain William Charlesworth who died on the 10th of June 1875 at the age of 57. Willian Charlesworth was born in Yorkshire in England in 1814, William worked on a boat named "The Brothers" and sailed around the Pacific. He was named Captain when he was in charge of a vessel called the "Royal Saxon". Being on that vessel made him see more of the world and he also got to travel further and he also got see the shores of Russia.

Back to the reserve, the government has set us a goal to plant 1 billion trees in New Zealand and we are going to be part of that and help the city council plant trees at the Charlesworth Reserve, here's a satellite photo of the Reserve.


This is a wetland reserve so we will be planting native plants to attract birds and other living things like little insects so they can breed, feed, roost and etc.
