Whau River tree planting
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 currently working to restore the native coastal forest ecosystem along Rosebank Peninsula, Avondale. On Sunday 26 October we are holding a working bee to clear invasive weeds and plant native trees at Tony Segedin Esplanade Reserve. We will be meeting at the Canal Road entrance to Tony Segedin Esplanade Reserve, Avondale, at 9:30am. The work we will do will help to restore the native coastal forest, providing crucial habitat for wildlife and keeping the Whau River clean and healthy.
You will need to bring sturdy, closed-in footwear (tramping shoes, old sneakers or gumboots are ideal); clothing suitable for working outdoors; sunscreen and a sun hat; and a drink bottle and snacks. Any children under the age of 12 will need adult supervision. No planting experience is necessary.
Up to 2 and a half hours, from 9:30am till midday on Sunday 26 October.
