Planting at Esplanade Reserve
Manurewa, May 26th
The Papakura Stream Restoration Project is a catchment wide programme that will restore and protect this important waterway and the habitat for the diverse species that call this area home. The project’s aim is to restore and protect stream banks and water quality, as well as habitat for native species. This restoration will include fencing (with Future Posts – recycled plastic fence posts), planting native trees and shrubs, water quality monitoring, plant maintenance, and community engagement. In partnership with Manurewa, Franklin and Papakura Local Boards, restoration will take place on both public land, and private land, working alongside farmers and other landowners. This project will also require the support of the local community and the corporate community in the form of volunteering, sponsorship and partnerships.
On this day we will be planting native trees alongside the stream to provide food and habitat for native species, and to act as a buffer to prevent contaminants entering the waterway.
We would love for you to join us!

Connecting People with Parks - Eric Armishaw Park
Pt Chevalier, May 31st
Connecting People to Parks
Every week Conservation Volunteers are out and about at different parks around Auckland.
It’s part of an initiative between Conservation Volunteers New Zealand and the Auckland Council to help bring biodiversity back to our central parks and to give people who are interested in conservation a chance to get involved.
This week we will be visiting Eric Armishaw Resrve in Pt Chevalier. On the shoreline of the Waitemata Harbour, Eric Armishaw Park is home to many migratory shorebirds including Little Pied Cormorant, White Faced Heron and Bar-Tailed Godwit. Over the past 2 years, volunteers have been clearing invasive weeds and replanting with native plants to provide improved habitat for these and many other species. We'd love your help today to continue this important work in a bid to bring back more birds to this and surrounding parks.
Each park has its own special characteristics, plants and wildlife and the conservation challenges for each area are very varied, so it’s a great chance to learn about biodiversity and how we can all make a difference to our environment.
Join us and help out your local parks.
