Cox's Creek November Litter Clean-up

Urban Ark are teaming up with the community to give Ōpoutūkeha / Cox’s Creek some love. Come help us clean up litter from in and around the mangroves at the edge of the reserve — this rubbish washes straight into the awa (stream) and then out to the ocean.

Earlier in the year we worked with the Hawke Sea Scouts and pulled out all sorts of things - including a couple of shopping trolleys!! By removing this pollution they helped protect and restore some of the mauri (life force) of Cox’s Creek. We want to help continue this good mahi into the future.

Further upstream, several community groups are also working to enhance the mauri of the awa and its catchment — removing invasive weeds and predators, and planting native trees along overland flow paths. We will talk about how all of this awesome mahi is helping make the catchment more Flood Ready...

Please register so we know how much kai and gear to bring.

Meeting location: The green space at the end of Parawai Crescent (passed number 36, just off the pathway that leads to Cox's Creek) - look out for our Urban Ark flag.
