Whau River Restoration Day: Volunteer Mulching & Planting

The Whau River Catchment Trust is a non‑profit environmental group, delivering ecological restoration projects all across the catchment with the support of our amazing west Auckland community. We are holding a restoration bee to care for our local environment at Tony Segedin Esplanade Reserve, Canal Rd in Blockhouse Bay. Together, we’ll be working to spread mulch around our native plantings, clear weeds and plant native trees to help restore the native forest ecosystem on the banks of the Whau Estuary. It’s a great opportunity to spend time outdoors, connect with others, and make a positive impact in your local park.
