15 August event - CANCELLED
Community Regeneration Day at Jessie Tonar Scout Reserve.
Since March 2019, we have been clearing invasive plant species and made good progress with planting a number of native plants on the site. We’ve also discovered that the harakeke growing there is of a high quality. We’ll continue cleaning up harakeke stands as well as clearing the wild ginger onsite. Come down and give us a hand!
Things to bring:
- Suitable closed-toed footwear – gumboots or boots
- Clothing appropriate for the weather
- Reusable water bottle
- Sun protection
Please register to reserve your sausage sizzle, and let us know of any additional food requirements.

Forest Restoration Leaders Training
15 August 2020
15 August training day - CANCELLED
For the last few years, Kaipātiki Project has run a leaders training program for those who would like to deepen their knowledge around native forest restoration. This year we are running a limited edition over four Saturday mornings starting this Saturday, July 11. Each of the four sessions involves some discussion and theory, then we get out to plant some native trees with members of the public attending. Three of the sessions are at our Kaipātiki Project Envirohub 17 Lauderdale Rd, Birkdale and one on Herald Island, near Hobsonville Point.
We are looking to start at 8.00 am at the Envirohub and move on to the plantings at 10.00 am. It will all be wrapped up at 12.30.
If you feel that you could benefit from the experience of our resident restoration people, Charmaine and Neil, please sign up for as many sessions as you can.
