F&B Auckland Central has adopted Balmoral Heights Reserve for the purpose of providing Red Admiral, Yellow Admiral, Copper and Long-tailed blue Butterflies with a place to nest and flourish within the city.
Our local expert, Rob Jones, is leading a community project to establish natural habitat that will help turn around the fortunes of New Zealand native butterflies. This reserve is wonderful place to visit in the summer to catch a glimpse of these butterflies you might not otherwise see in Auckland.
We hold regular working bees in the reserve each year to maintain this habitat, planting, weeding, watering and pruning. We always need extra pairs help at these events and welcome all those that would like to help.
