Roll up your sleeves and support community-based restoration efforts with Te Kākano.
Join us on Saturday 13 June, 1-4pm at Penrith Bay.
This is a new site for Te Kākano. It is a multi-year planting project where we will be replanting lots of native plants! This will be a big planting event with about 600 plants going into the ground! The more volunteers the better!
The holes will be augered the day before to make it easier on the day.
The site was previously planted in Douglas firs and pines, and was cleared in November.
We are working with QLDC, the Upper Clutha Wilding tree group, the Upper Clutha tracks trust and Bike Wānaka on this project.
Location: the site is located at the end of Penrith Park Drive, Wānaka.
Directions: Walk or bike in if you can. If driving, park at Beacon Point Reserve and walk to the site, or park on Penrith Park drive, but please park considerately (i.e. avoid parking on the grass and in front of driveways).
We will supply the tools and afternoon tea. Bring your own gardening gloves if you have them (we have spare), a cup for a cuppa after the planting, and your friends and whānau.
Keep an eye on Te Kākano’s website for future planting dates and changes.
