Earth Day - Sanders Reserve, Paremoremo
Paremoremo, April 22nd
Join Conservation Volunteers and One Tree Planted as we celebrate Earth Day with a day of invasive weed control at Sanders Reserve in Paremoremo.
Nestled along the upper reaches of the Waitemata Harbour in Paremoremo lies Sanders Reserve. It’s a fantastic 16.5ha multi-use recreation area with great views of the Harbour.
A local community group, Sustainable Paremoremo have been working hard on the restoration of this area over the past few years by planting over 20,000 native trees. These trees need some attention to ensure their survival. CVNZ have partnered with this small volunteer group with the aim of helping maintain the area and to plant a further 10,000 trees here each winter.
We'd love to have your help. Come and enjoy the amazing views and at the same time give the young plants a helping hand to get established.

Connecting People and Parks - Oakley Creek
New Zealand- Auckland, April 27th
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.
Join us and help out your local parks.
