Nau mai, haere mai!

Join us at Scroggy Stream to put native plants in the ground, which can:

  • add stability to the stream banks
  • absorb water in heavy rain
  • provide a healthy habitat for our native birds and critters.

We'll be working in Matangirua / Chettle Reserve, close to Bunnings Warehouse, New Lynn. It's our first step in transforming this stream into a haven for native birds and critters, and ensuring it flows well during changeable weather.

Kids welcome but must be supervised.

Please bring:

  • sturdy closed-toe shoes
  • gardening gloves
  • rain jacket
  • sun hat.

We'll finish with some kai together at the end.

Supported by the Whau Local Board and Auckland Council Healthy Waters.
