Come along for a community planting along the Waitahurangi Awa.
This year, we celebrate Matariki through the theme ‘Matariki herenga waka’ - coming together as a community and honouring our shared connections to place, people and the environment.
As we plant along the awa, we reflect on Matariki as a time of renewal. The new native plants will help stabilise stream banks, slow water flow during heavy rain, reduce flood impacts and provide habitat for native wildlife.
