Te Puhinui Big Clean
Keen to offer a morning of your time to create awareness of the treasure in our back yard and collectively contributing to the health of our awa, the Puhinui Stream? Together with local businesses and environmental partners we are excited to be hosting a volunteering event, Te Puhinui Big Clean, from Totara Park down to the foreshore.
The event is planned for Saturday 8th May 8.30am to 12.30pm (rain date 22nd May), followed by a sausage sizzle and fun interactions for all, as our way to thank the many wonderful volunteers.
