Riverbank Clearance Working Bee - Saturday 18 March
Invasive plants like cape ivy, jasmine, honeysuckle and brambles are killing our native trees along the river trail behind Black Beech Street in Upper Hutt.
Last year we held a working bee to cut and paste the stems of these interlopers with herbicide, leaving them to die so the native trees can recover over time. We’ve achieved some amazing results, but we’ve still got a long way to go, hence we’re holding another working bee. If you can spare even a couple hours that would be a great help.
Date and time: Saturday 18 March, 9.30 am to 1.00 pm (unless raining)
Gathering point: Blackbeech Street, southern end, down access path to Riverbank.
You’ll need:
• stout footwear
• protective gloves
• one or more of the following cutting tools: Secateurs, Loppers, Pruning Saw
Poison will be provided by Forest & Bird. You might also need mozzie repellent!

Poll: Would you participate in local initiatives aimed at stopping plastic from reaching our oceans?
Volunteers will be scouring the foreshore, riverbanks, and islands for rubbish on Saturday the 13th as part of the Clean Up the Hutt event.
This initiative helps stop plastic from reaching our oceans and makes our waterways cleaner and safer for everyone.
We want to know: Should this be rolled out across all coastal cities in Aotearoa? And more importantly… would you get involved? 💚
