SUMMARY:Matariki Planting at Te Kōtuitanga
DESCRIPTION:Come along for a community planting along the Waitahurangi Awa at Te Kōtuitanga (Olympic Park)\, New Lynn.

Together\, we’ll contribute to a healthier stream and a more resilient neighbourhood. \nThe native plants we put into the ground will help stabilise stream banks\, slow water flow during heavy rain\, reduce flood impacts\, and provide habitat for native wildlife. \nAll ages are welcome; however\, children must be supported by an adult. Please wear sturdy closed-toe footwear\, ideally gumboots. \nMeet at EcoMatters Environment Trust\, 1 Olympic Place\, New Lynn. \nHosted by EcoMatters Environment Trust.
