SUMMARY:Matariki Planting by the Bike Path
DESCRIPTION:Join us this Matariki and come along to plant native plants along the Whau Awa! Put on your gumboots and let’s turn this area into thriving stream habitat.\nThe place we’re planting is located just past where the Waitahurangi Stream meets the Whau Stream\, and they come together to form the Whau Awa. \nThe plants you put in the ground will be enjoyed by native birds and critters\, as well as bike-riders and walkers passing through the New Lynn to Avondale shared path each day. \nKids welcome but must be supervised. Wear gumboots or sturdy closed-toe shoes\, and bring your rain jacket and gardening gloves if you have any. \nAccess through the back gate of the Daily Bread site – a 2-minute bike ride or 12-minute walk from New Lynn Transport Centre. Bike parking will available. \nFunded and supported by the Whau Local Board & Whau Wildlink.

SUMMARY:Matariki Planting with Laingholm Restoration Ruatuna
DESCRIPTION:Nau mai\, haere mai! Come and help us at Laing Stream with planting\, and learn about the plants best suited to streamside areas. Be part of transforming this stream into a thriving awa that flows well in changeable weather\, is more resilient in heavy rain and drought\, and helps move water safely to the sea. \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. \nKids welcome but must be supervised. Sturdy closed-toe shoes are required\, and gardening gloves\, a rain jacket and a sun hat are advised. We’ll finish with some kai together at the end. Questions? contact pamela@ecomatters.org.nz \nHosted by EcoMatters Environment Trust\, Restoration Ruatuna and Laing Stream neighbours. Ngā mihi to Auckland Council Healthy Waters for their support.
