Bushy Park Trust
Trust & Vision
Bequeathed to Forest & Bird by the late GF Moore in 1962, Bushy Park has been diligently cared for by a local trust made up of volunteers.
The Bushy Park Trust was established in 1994, and is administered by a core of volunteers.
Objectives of the Trust are:
- The preservation and enhancement of the 90ha forest by ridding it of all predators.
- The enhancement of native bird life and the introduction of rare and endangered species once found there.
- To provide the opportunity for public education, recreation and enjoyment of the Homestead and forest.
- To provide in the Homestead a facility of accommodation and entertainment.
- To provide an education programme for students.
