Come along for a community planting and mulching along the Waitahurangi Awa that flows through the Titirangi Golf Club.
We're celebrating Matariki with an emphasis on the whetū Waitī - the star representing the freshwater environment and all our plants and animals that live in and around this Waitahurangi streamside area.
The native plants we put into the ground will:
- add stability to the stream banks
- slow water flow during heavy rain
- reduce flash flooding impacts
- help manage stormwater
- provide habitat for native wildlife.
Gumboots or closed-toe, sturdy footwear is essential. Please bring a hat, rain jacket and gardening gloves if you have any (some gloves will be provided). Kids welcome but must be accompanied by a supervising adult.
