Strong turnout for Matariki planting day

25_06_20_001230

Ngā mihi nui and a big thank you to everyone who turned out last Friday at Bothamley Park for our Whakatō i te wairua o Matariki planting event.

We had more than 100 volunteers of all ages join us on the day, who helped to get 3820 plants in the ground and collect 168kg of rubbish!

We’re also grateful for the passionate community groups who helped on the day to make it a success:
Ngahere Korowai
Mountains to Sea Wellington
Predator Free Porirua
Cannons Creek Boxing Academy

If you are interested in ongoing volunteer work restoring and caring for Bothamley Park, please let us know! You can email our planting team at [email protected]

For those who missed the latest community planting event, our next one will be on 16 August in Papakōwhai.
