Update On Damage to Plantings at Omaha

Rabbits have been browsing native plants recently planted in the backdunes of the North Omaha Reserve by members of the Omaha Shorebird Protection Trust and other volunteers.  In the first few days after planting, rabbits particularly targeted houpara or 5-finger, but have also attacked karo and taupata to a lesser degree.  They don’t seem interested in manuka or flax.
