Community Weeding Bee 🌿 Oakley Creek 💦This Sunday !!
We’ll be weeding along the Oakley Creek Walkway, which sits right alongside the awa (stream). This area is prone to flooding in heavy rain. Weeding this site will help the native plants planted here previously to survive and thrive.
These native plants will help absorb more water and slow flood waters down so it doesn’t reach the stream all at once, reducing the impact of flooding. They also stop excess sediment and excess nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus that wash off our streets during rain and improve water quality - pretty neat hey! Come and help us be the community heroes we need.
Sturdy shoes & water bottle. Meet: beside BP Waterview, look out for our high vis vests. Please note: parking is on Herdman Street, regular buses head along Great North Road for those coming by public transport
