Weed Busting at Butterfly Garden
Our butterfly expert, Rob, invites you to help establish a natural habitat for butterflies at Mount Eden's Balmoral Heights Reserve.
Balmoral Heights Reserve is a hotspot for Red Admiral, Yellow Admiral, Copper, and Long-tailed Blue Butterflies with a place to nest and flourish within the city.
We need your help to maintain this habitat, our work involves planting, weeding, watering and pruning.
For this volunteer day, you are welcome to meet us onsite at 10am directly; or get a ride in our van and meet at our office at 9:30am at 10 New North Rd Eden Terrace. Seats are limited in our vans, so you MUST contact Teresa at tma@cvnz.org.nz or text 021 496 890 to reserve a seat.
What to wear: Please wear sturdy, comfortable footwear and something you don’t mind getting muddy (gumboots, hiking shoes, work boots, trainers) and appropriate outdoor clothing (lightweight long sleeved clothing and trousers are needed to protect yourself from cuts and scratches and insect bites/stings).
What to bring: CVNZ will supply all of the tools and equipment required for the day. Please bring with you a hat, raincoat/waterproof jacket, sunblock, a snack, full water bottle and any medication you may need (hayfever medication, inhalers etc). We will have extra water to refill bottles, sunblock, snacks and insect repellent with us on the day.
We look forward to seeing you there!
