Battle Hill Community Planting DayDate: Sunday 26 July 2026
Time: 1pm – 4pm
Place: Battle Hill Farm Forest Park
Join us for a rewarding afternoon helping restore Battle Hill Farm Forest Park at our community planting day.
Greater Wellington and the Friends of Battle Hill group will be planting in two key areas — the new oak wetland and the airstrip wetland — helping to improve biodiversity and strengthen these important habitats for future generations.
We’ll wrap up the day with a BBQ to celebrate your mahi.
This planting day is perfect for those who enjoy a bit of physical activity as you’ll be carrying plants and digging holes.
What to bring and wear
• Sturdy boots or gumboots
• Long sleeves and pants, and a waterproof jacket
• Warm layers — a hat or beanie is a good idea
• A spare change of clothes (the site can be very exposed)
• Your own spade and gloves if you prefer your own
• Water bottle and snacks
We’ll provide
• Plants and planting tools
• Gloves
• An experienced team leader
• Health and safety briefing and support
• Hot drinks and a sausage sizzle
Meeting point: The Dell (over the bridge and to the right).
