Join our local community projects to restore streams and waterways across Auckland. Today Auckland Council is making an effort to restore some of its native beauty. So join us for community planting days where we will be planting native plants and trees.
Be a part of making some of our city’s most historic sites home to native species and a native paradise!
Meet our regular volunteers and help us plant some eco-sourced native plants.
All tools provided, just bring old clothes and stout shoes or boots. Planting is usually from 10am – 12pm followed by a free BBQ.
