Weeding and planting on a steep bank
The Whau River Catchment Trust is a non-profit environmental group, delivering ecological restoration projects all across the catchment with the support of our amazing west Auckland community.
We are holding a community weeding and planting bee at Blockhouse Bay Recreation Reserve on Sunday morning, 14th June, to remove weeds from around our native tree plantings and plant more native trees. The site we will be working on is a very steep bank, so we are looking for people who are confident on their feet and have a good level of fitness, as well as who enjoy being outside taking care of our natural environment.
We'll be meeting at 36 Rathlin St, in front of the shed next to the carpark.
You must bring sturdy, closed-in shoes with good grip; a drink bottle; and a raincoat if it's wet. And of course, you must be comfortable working on a steep slope.
9:30am - 12:00pm, Sunday 14 June 2026.
