The Trelissick Park Group work in conjunction with the City and Regional Councils.  Over the last 22 years, the Park has been transformed, with around 85,000 trees planted, large areas of weeds eradicated, new tracks/signage, seats, tables and bridges built and possum bait stations/mustelid traps established and serviced.  The Group are helped by local volunteers, bi-monthly working bees, an “adopt-a-spot” scheme, school and corporate volunteers, aided by funding from various organisations and individuals.  Planting is supplemented by home-based nurseries.  Recruitment and education come from print and on-line media.
