Community Planting Day
Join us for our fourth annual planting day on Saturday 24 August 8.30-11.30am, Cross Country Drain, Cnr Bill Hercock Street & Harold Holt Ave, Pirimai, Napier.
If you’ve taken a wander along the Cross Country Drain, you will have seen what can be achieved when a community works together. With a combined total of 10,000+ natives planted at our planting days, we need your help.
We have around 3000 natives to plant this year. We will be focussing on the south side of the Cross Country Drain and the area along the expressway.
Start with a briefing at 8.30am, planting from 9am.
Finishing with a sausage sizzle on the BBQ at approximately 11am, once all the plants are in the ground.
This planting day is suited to people of all ages and abilities. Bring along gardening gloves, a spade and a water bottle.
We can’t wait to see you there!

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
