Welcome to Friends of Le Roys Bush

There are 8 entrances to Le Roys Bush - the main entrance is from 251 Hinemoa Street (down the driveway between 245 and 253 Hinemoa Street).

The Le Roy Terrace track is closed until further notice to protect the kauri around it. Due to COVID budget cuts, no date is available for reopening.

Welcome to the Friends of Le Roys Bush website

Le Roys Bush (Wai Manawa) is a beautiful complex of reserves with streams and walkways running from Birkenhead Village (Highbury) down to Little Shoal Bay beach

New website and new URL

The Le Roys Bush URL is now LeRoysBush.NZ (no ".org" in it any more).

We are now moving towards using WiX for our principal website - this is what you see if you go to LeRoysBush.NZ - the site is still a work in progress. If you;d like to help, please email us.
