Get Involved: Calling All Volunteers

JoElle from Island Bay

🌱 Manawa Karioi Winter Working Bees 🌱

Join us to care for our ngahere and reconnect with the whenua 🌿
Every Sunday in June and August, 1pm–3pm (except June 1)

📍 Meet at the Tapu Te Ranga Marae Carpark – end of Danube Street, Island Bay, Wellington

Important Notes:

Sunday 1 June – No Working Bee (King’s Birthday Weekend – public holiday)

Sunday 29 June – Bird Survey Special!
This Working Bee falls during the NZ Garden Bird Survey. You’ll have the chance to contribute by spending an hour observing and recording birds across Manawa Karioi. A great way to support bird conservation in Aotearoa – we’ll provide instructions and recording sheets.

🌧 Rain or shine – we’ll be out there planting, maintaining tracks, and enjoying the ngahere.
🧤 Tools, gloves, and good vibes provided – just bring yourself (and a friend!).

FREE 10-liter emergency water bottles

Michael from Newtown

Merry Christmas -

I have around twenty, empty 10-liter distilled water bottles to serve as emergency water storage. I saved them for my friends, but they already have their own water supplies. Take as many as you like. Please respond to this notice if you are interested.

Best wishes - Michael
