LOWW Community Planting Day

We’ll be planting natives out in Owhanake on Sunday 11 July, so come join us and help restore the mauri of our wonderfuls Waiheke wetlands. Turn up with your friends, whānau, and a spade if you have it — we will be meeting at the Owhanake car park off Korora Rd, so we recommend carpooling if you can.

Around 10,000 eco-sourced trees are going into Waiheke wetlands this year as part of WRT’s Love our Wetlands project. These plants have an important job; their roots will harness soil to the hillside, preventing erosion. The soil can then trap sediment and filter nutrients, which prevents contamination downstream to rivers and oceans.
