Ōtanerua Reserve Planting Day
Join us for the planting along the stream in Ōtanerua Reserve, Hatfields Beach.
We are planting with the Restore Hibiscus & Bays, local community. The restoration planting along riparian margins and surrounding areas helps to stabilise the creek bank. Caring for our waterways also enhances the flood resilience and biodiversity in the Reserve. Restore Hibiscus & Bays is monitoring the health of the stream to improve its water quality. This is supported by Wai Care Programme from Auckland Council's Healthy Waters department.
Please get in touch with Teresa Ma at tma@cvnz.org.nz if you are interested.
Transportation can be provided from the CVNZ office with a booking in advance.
