Whau River planting and restoration day
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 holding a restoration bee to care for our local environment at Tony Segedin Esplanade Reserve, Canal Rd in Blockhouse Bay. Together, we’ll be working to spread mulch around our native plantings, clear weeds and plant native trees to help restore the native forest ecosystem on the banks of the Whau Estuary. It’s a great opportunity to spend time outdoors, connect with others, and make a positive impact in your local park. We'll be meeting on the grass at the end of Canal Rd. We’d love to see you there!
Please bring sturdy, closed-in shoes (old sneakers, tramping shoes or gumboots are best - no sandals or jandals); clothing suitable for working outdoors; and a drink bottle. If it's raining the event may still go ahead, so bring a raincoat if it looks like it might be wet. No experience required. Volunteers under 12yo must have adult supervision.
Up to 2.5 hours, starting at 9:30am and finishing up around midday. You don't need to come for the whole thing - just whatever time you can manage.
