Western Springs Community Planting Day
Conservation Volunteers has partnered with the Waitematā and Ōrākei Local Boards to plant native trees around some of our local waterways.
On the 12th of June we will be planting at Western Springs to help improve the water quality of the lake, and to provide food and habitat for our native species. Planting will go from 10am-12pm followed by a free sausage sizzle!
What to bring: Gumboots or closed toe shoes, appropriate long sleeved clothing and trousers, favourite spade (if you have one), gardening gloves (optional). Some spades and gloves will also be provided.
Conservation Volunteers can also transport a limited number of volunteers to the project from our office in Eden Terrace.
Bookings are essential. If you would like to make a booking or for more information please contact info@cvnz.org.nz or call 0800 567686
Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
