Forest & Bird are calling on the Upper Hutt City Council to keep a 35-hectare block on Silverstream Spur as a wildlife corridor and reserve.
The council is due to consult this year on the proposed exchange of the spur for 134 ha block of nearby land in Pinehaven with the Guildford Timber Company. Guildford wants to build about 1000 new homes on the spur.
Forest & Bird Upper Hutt branch chairman Graham Bellamy said the spur and the opposite land at Keith George Memorial Park are the narrowest part of the Hutt Valley, and would be an ideal ecological corridor if it were replanted in native flora. Currently mostly planted out in pines, a replanted spur could also be used as a recreational reserve.
