Community planting day
An exciting new project that aims to restore the health of Te Awarua-o-Porirua Harbour is having its first public planting event on 9 July, and everyone is invited to join in.
The community planting day is part of the Streamside Planting Programme – a transformational project to improve the water quality of Porirua City’s streams and waterways, and keep sediment and pollution out of the harbour.
The programme was launched in April by Porirua City Council, in partnership with Ngāti Toa and Sustainable Coastlines. Over 20 years it aims to plant more than 6 million plants on the banks of the 588km of streams that run into the harbour.
Porirua Mayor Anita Baker said this was an exciting step forward for a harbour that was treasured by the people of Porirua, and a team effort would be key to the project’s success.
Details: Saturday 9 July, 9.30am to 2pm, Waitangirua Stockards, Belmont Regional Park.
