Planting Volunteers for Akoranga Reserve

The Team from Kaipātiki Project Environmental Centre

This Saturday 25 July from 1 pm
Calling Planting Volunteers to Akoranga Reserve - one of the loveliest unknown treasures on the North Shore. Until recently it was a mass of weeds. However, a combination of two dedicated volunteers and two corporate teams (AMP and UL Ltd) have made incredible progress in wresting back this beautiful stream from environmental weeds. Come and join us to help progress the restoration effort! New volunteers welcome.
🌱 Family, friends and children welcome
🌱 Gumboots are essential
🌱 Gardening gloves are recommended
🌱 Please bring your own clean spade with your name and phone number on (to reserve a spare one contact Smiths Bush Restoration Group ).
Come and help with this planting day at this newly restored reserve.

Location:
You can find it by entering the reserve from Akoranga Road between the YMCA at 5 Akoranga and the stream.
Public parking and toilets are available by the sports fields across the road.

PS please watch us and the original group Smiths Bush Restoration Group timeline www.facebook.com...
for any further information or, in the event of bad weather, any postponement arrangements.
