Native planting to protect Matakana River banks

Make a difference on a stunning stretch of the Matakana River. 🌿💦

The sheep are no longer able to access the awa and now, we need your help to get a few thousand plants into the ground. This planting site directly impacts the catchment, located three kilometres upstream from Matakana Village.

Give us a hand. Please wear sturdy CLEAN closed-in shoes, boots or gumboots 🥾 and bring:

• The kids - it's a family-friendly morning 🧒👧

• Clean garden gloves 🧤

• Clean spades (there will be some available) 🪏

• Water 🍶

• Hat 🧢

• Appropriate clothing for the weather. We will be planting no matter what the weather does.

There will be a sausage sizzle when the mahi is completed, with vegan options available. Yummo!

Registration is essential, to ensure we have enough kai and to keep you up-to-date on event details.
