Description:

This organisation is working towards healthier streams along the Whau river through community participation and kaitiakitanga (guardianship and protection). They deliver a wide range of community-based environmental projects, principally in collaboration with the Auckland Council and other key stakeholders within the catchment, and includes programmes and projects in the areas of ecological restoration and conservation.

This project involves restoring a 1.5km long riverside walkway which is home to admiral butterflies and unusual native plants, like tree nettle and native jasmine, rarely seen in urban Auckland. The organisation has been restoring the walkway for four years and extending the areas of beautiful native bush. But, there is a constant battle to hold back some nasty exotic weeds, like madeira vine, tradescantia and mothplant, which threaten this lovely area.

If your team would love to work outdoors, come and spend some time planting, mulching and weeding and help keep this walkway in great shape.
