Connecting People and Parks - Oakley Creek
New Zealand- Auckland, Feb 4th and 3 other dates
Connecting People to Parks
Every Tuesday Conservation Volunteers are out and about at different parks around Auckland.

This week we are at Oakley Creek, an important wildlife corridor which reaches all the way from the Manukau harbour to the Waitemata. Even though it’s located in the middle of Auckland, it’s a lovely stroll through native bush along paths and wooden bridges. You’re walking through history; the Maori used the creek to reach inland from the inlet and there are many landing sites and signs of settlement along the banks. It is also the site of Auckland City's only natural waterfall!
Conservation Volunteers experienced team leaders guide the programme and aim to teach volunteers about all aspects of conservation, including plant identification and planting techniques.
Join us and help out your local parks.

Weiti River - Business Awareness Campaign
Silverdale, Feb 14th and 2 other dates
The Weiti River plays a significant role as part of a network of streams that flow through the Hibiscus and Bays area of Auckland and out to Long Bay Okura Marine Reserve. Many areas along the Weiti River are affected by storm water run-off, as well as sedimentation and other pollutants which reduce the water's oxygen levels and the ability of the river to sustain life.
The aim of these projects is to restore the habitat and ecological values of the Weiti River. This winter, we aim to plant 13,000 plants along the banks of the Weiti River. We'd love to have your help to restore this very special river.
