Community planting events continue
26/06/2023 2:44am
Volunteers have helped get over 2,000 plants into the ground at the Grampians and Tāhunanui during the first of our community winter planting events.
These yearly planting events help to protect and restore our natural environment. They’re also a lot of fun!
So, if you missed the first planting events, or if you’re keen to attend another, there are two more planting days scheduled for this winter.
Please wear sturdy shoes and bring your own gloves if you plan to attend. Spades will be provided, but feel free to bring your own if you can.
