Green thumbs wanted
More than 1600 native plants went into the ground at Styx Mill Conservation Reserve last weekend.
Now, the second of Trees for Canterbury's community planting events will be held at the Charlesworth Street Reserve on Sunday, May 19.
Trees for Canterbury and the Christchurch City Council's regional parks team will help establish native trees and shrubs in the reserve.
The reserve is being developed to re-establish an estuary-edge ecosystem, including salt-meadow, salt-marsh and coastal bush that are currently very rare or non-existent in the area.
Community planting: Charlesworth Street Reserve, 10am to 2pm, Sunday, May 19.
