Join us for a hands-on community effort to care for our local environment! We’re hosting a weeding bee at Jomac Esplanade and would love your help restoring space for our native trees to thrive.
Together, we’ll be working to remove invasive vines that are smothering our native trees and grasses. It's a lovely spot, off the beaten track, with stunning views across the Mōtū Manawa-Pollen Island Marine Reserve. This work will help to restore the native coastal forest, providing a crucial buffer zone to protect the reserve. We will provide all volunteers with hand tools and gloves, plus juice and biscuits for morning tea. Meeting at the accessway to the reserve, between 26 and 32 Jomac Place, Avondale.
Please bring sturdy, closed-in shoes (old sneakers, tramping shoes or gumboots are best - no sandals or jandals); clothing suitable for working outdoors; sunblock and a sunhat; and plenty of drinking water. The terrain can be a little challenging, especially when the ground is muddy from rain, so you will need to be confident on your feet. If it's raining the event may still go ahead, so bring a raincoat if it looks like it might be wet. No experience required. Volunteers must be at least 12yo.
No need to register, simply turn up on the day!
