Whakaipō Bay Community Planting Day

Robyn Ellis from Greening Taupo

Everyone is welcome
Sunday 3rd September From 10am
Come along and join Greening Taupō, the Girl Guides, and everyone else and continue the great tree planting tradition at Whakaipō Bay.
Please be prepared for either rain or shine, bring a spade, your gumboots, gardening gloves and enjoy a grand morning out at one of Taupō’s jewels – Whakaipō Bay. The Girl Guides will provide a sausage sizzle after the planting.
Less than 15 mins from Taupō off Mapara rd, follow the signs and balloons.
