Community planting days are a great chance to head out to a beautiful location, get your hands dirty and enjoy a morning in the fresh air. You will see first hand where plants from the nursery end up and help to rebuild native habitats one plant at a time.
Absolutely everyone is welcome, no experience is required, and our core volunteers will be on hand to show you how it’s done. Your help will make a difference and you will leave your mark on the Whakatipu landscape for years to come.
WHAT TO BRING: Gardening gloves, shovel (if you have one), sturdy footwear, water, sunscreen & a hat.
Keystone Site Planting Days
Our Keystone Sites are large, multi-year planting projects on public land. These areas will ultimately form biodiversity islands and corridors, providing food and habitat for our native birds, lizards and invertebrates.
