MULTICULTURAL TREE PLANTING: Saturday 25 June, 10:30am
EarthDiverse, the Waikato Interfaith Council, the Waikato Multicultural Council, GoEco, Kaivolution, Tui 2000, Friends of Waiwhakareke, the Bahá’í Community, Waikato Biodiversity Forum, and the Hamilton City Council are co-organising a Community-wide tree planting event to take place in Hamilton on Saturday 25 June 2022, 10:30am-1:30pm (Rain Date in case of absolutely awful weather will be on Saturday 2 July 2022). This year we need to use the Rotokauri Rd entrance due to works at the Brymer Rd entrance across from the Zoo.
Bring a spade or shovel, gumboots, appropriate outdoor weather gear, some gardening gloves, water and a big smile. If you don’t want to dig there are other ways to help out (like bringing a small food donation, or helping with setting out and serving a light lunch). A light lunch will be served (courtesy of Kaivolution, GoEco, WIFCO, the Bahá’í Community and others). Please bring your own plates, cutlery or mugs in order to minimise waste. 100 people would mean planting 5-10 saplings each. Mark this date in your diaries now! Come and help offset your carbon usage!
