A conservation group is fighting to stop a 2.3ha block of bush in Auckland being sold today to a developer.
Kohimarama Forest, in the wealthy Auckland suburb of Saint Heliers, is being been marketed as prime residential land.
Tenders close Monday 6 December at 4pm.
Locals say the bush is ecologically significant, and is home to a number of mature native trees and birds.
However, the land owner says the site isn't protected.
Jean Bell reports.
