WET has had a longstanding interest in the development of the Rail Trail, in particular the section where it passes through the Ahuriri Lagoon area.  We’re delighted to see that a new 4km section of Rail Trail, linking the two sections that have been developed previously, is now open.

Earlier this year, with the route finalised, the Little River Rail Trust contracted WET to provide a detailed planting plan for the section alongside the Halswell/Huritini. We look forward to seeing the planting plan implemented over the next year or so.

Details of the new section, and how to access it are now on the ECan website.
