A community group, led by Palmerston North resident Ken Rush, is working to restore the Kahuterawa Bush Remnant in Linton. The remnant is on defence land and is managed as a scenic reserve.

Interested parties include the Palmerston North Rotary Club, the New Zealand Defence Force, Palmerston North Intermediate Normal School, Forest & Bird, the Department of Conservation, Horizons Regional Council, Palmerston North City Council, Green Corridors and the Linton community.

The aim is to restore the bush, and create a reserve that local schools can use as a resource for environmental education and residents can enjoy.
