About this Event

Join us for an impactful and rewarding challenge at Riverlea Reserve in Whenuapai! Our beautiful reserve has seen significant improvements thanks to dedicated volunteers, but we face a pressing issue with rampant rubbish dumping. This event will focus on tackling the trash down a steep slope that has accumulated over time.

Event Details:

  • Challenge Level: Medium - High – This cleanup involves navigating a steep slope, so it’s best suited for those in good physical condition. We’ll be employing creative techniques like a human chain and ropes to safely transport the rubbish up the hill.
  • What to Bring:  Please bring sturdy closed-toed shoes (gumboots are preferred), water, and some gardening gloves if you have them. We’ll provide all other necessary equipment.
  • Safety First: Due to the challenging nature of the slope, we’ll limit participants to 50 and will implement health and safety measures. A rain date will be set for the 3rd of Oct to ensure we avoid working on slippery, wet terrain.

Why Join Us?

  • Make a Difference: Help restore the natural beauty of Riverlea Reserve and contribute to a cleaner environment.
  • Be Part of a Team: Work alongside other passionate volunteers and enjoy the camaraderie of a shared goal.
  • Feel Rewarded: Experience the satisfaction of tackling a tough task and seeing tangible results from your efforts.

RSVP: Please register to secure your spot. If the weather doesn’t cooperate, we’ll reschedule to ensure everyone’s safety.

Let’s come together to make a lasting impact on Riverlea Reserve. Your effort will help preserve this valuable space for future generations!
