Weiti River - Business Awareness Campaign
Silverdale, April 17th
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 Hibiscus and Bays Local Board are supporting CVNZ to provide opportunities for the local Silverdale Businesses to get involved in improving the river environment. We are running a series of planting and weeding days. The native plants will help minimise sedimentation as well as provide habitat for birds, insects and reptiles.
Bookings are essential. To register or for or for more information please email info@conservationvolunteers.co.nz or call 0800 56 76 86.

Connecting People and Parks - Manukau Domain
Lynfield, June 2nd
Connecting People to Parks
Every Tuesday 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 an opportunity to get involved.
This week we are at Manukau Domain, a beautiful reserve in Lynfield with open spaces and regenerating native bush which provides habitat for native species. The domain sits on the shores of the Manukau Harbour so is an important natural filter of overland flows before it reaches the ocean. Come join us for native pest plant management, native tree planting and other conservation activities.
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.

Connecting People and Parks - Oakley Creek
New Zealand- Auckland, June 9th
Connecting People to Parks
Every Tuesday 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 an opportunity to get involved.
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.

Western Springs Community Planting Day
Western Springs, June 20th
Western Spring or 'Te Wai Orea' (The water of the eels) started life as a abundant river, fed primarily by water coming off the two Maunga Te Tatua-a-Riukiuta, Mount Albert and Maungawhau / Mount Eden. As Auckland’s population continued to grow the river was dammed and converted into a human made lake to provide water to the people of Auckland. Shortly after this demand outstripped the supply and the land went through many evolutions. Firstly as a camp, some was sold off to housing and eventually the boggy land was abandoned leaving it vulnerable to rubbish dumping.
Eventually the rubbish and weed choked lake became such an eye sore that Auckland Council decided to restore it. The now cleaned, weeded and replanted lake and land is home to many native and introduced bird and fish species like the long fin eel, shags, ducks and geese.
Today Auckland Council is making an effort to restore it back to some of its native beauty. So join us for a community planting day at Western Springs where we will be planting over 1000 native plants and trees. Be a part of making it a home to native species and a native paradise in the middle of the city.
Planting will be from 10am – 12pm followed by a free BBQ.
We will provide gloves and spades.
