Weed Busting at Chamberlain Park, Auckland
Our collaborative group, St Lukes Environmental Protection Society (STEPS), invites you to participate in the weeding event at Chamberlain Park, the public golf course. Weed control is part of an essential plant maintenance of our young native trees. Weed can grow relatively fast to smother the trees, especially in hotter season, hence preventing the trees from access to sunlight and space. This will dramatically kill young plants. In addition, we are going to free up the space for the new planting season. Come and make a difference to save our native young trees!
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!
