Track clearing and native tree planting
We are looking for some keen volunteers to help us with a bit of tree clearing and some native planting. This will involve pruning branches and felling some small trees with saws and loppers, plus planting. The terrain can be a little challenging, especially when the ground is muddy from rain, so make sure you're confident on your feet.
It's a lovely spot, off the beaten track, with stunning views across the Mōtū Manawa-Pollen Island Marine Reserve. The work we will do will help to restore the native coastal forest, providing a crucial buffer zone to protect the reserve.
We will provide all volunteers with hand tools and gloves, plus juice and biscuits for morning tea.
Meeting at the accessway to the reserve, between 26 and 32 Jomac Place, Avondale.
Sturdy, closed-in shoes or boots (work boots, gumboots and tramping shoes are all ideal); clothing suitable for outdoor work, including a raincoat if it's raining; and a drink bottle.
Must be 15yo or over to volunteer.
2 - 3 hours
