Planting at Lynfield Reserve
We look forward to hosting you for a Community Planting Day at Lynfield Reserve, where the Wairaki Stream flows towards Manukau Harbour.
On this day, we will plant native trees in the area that was once dominated by exotic weeds like gingers and privets. Ongoing efforts had cleared patches of weeds and freed up living space for our natives.
With your effort to plant native trees, the vegetation will soon provide shelter and protection along the stream and the walkway, making the place more pleasant for recreation and conservation.
Note that some areas require physical fitness, e.g., carrying tools and planting on slopes.
For this volunteer day, you are welcome to meet us on-site at 9.30am.
Direction: Meet us at the skate bowl of Lynfield Reserve, The Avenue (behind Woolworths Lynfield).
If you want to get a ride from CVNZ, please meet at our office at 8.45am at 10 New North Rd Eden Terrace. Seats are limited in our vans, so you MUST email Teresa at tma@cvnz.org.nz or text 021 496 890 to reserve a seat and confirm with us.
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!
