Join us for a community planting day to help restore stream and wetland habitat and care for Whangateau Harbour. Help us get 5,600 plants to get in the ground - many hands makes light work!

Please carpool as parking is limited - thanks!

This special site includes a coastal kauri grove, waterway and wetland areas visited by the endangered matuku-hūrepo / Australasian bittern.

The planting is part of a wider restoration effort coordinated through the Whangateau Catchment Collective, showing what’s possible when landowners, Auckland Council, restoration partners, and local businesses work together for the catchment and harbour.

No experience is needed - just bring sturdy footwear (it will be wet underfoot), weather-appropriate clothing, and gloves if you have them.

We’ll have a BBQ lunch as a thank you for everyone’s mahi.
