Tamaki Estuary Clean Ups
Tamaki, Jul 1st and 2 other dates
Conservation Volunteers in partnership with Tamaki Estuary Environmental Forum, Foundation North and Auckland Council are running a series of sea and land based community clean up events to assist with improving the health of the Tamaki Estuary.
Litter, particularly plastic, has a major impact on wildlife with birds and fish becoming entangled or mistaking the litter for food, eating the plastic and feeding it to their young. As the plastic breaks into small fragments in the water it leaches potentially toxic chemicals into our rivers and seas, threatening our ocean wildlife and us.
By coming out to one of our clean up days you will be making a difference to the amount of rubbish that enters this toxic cycle and creating awareness about steps that we can take to prevent further degradation by recycling and encouraging others to do so too.
Come and help on one or more of these projects and be a part of transforming your local river. We'd love to have your help.
Bookings are essential. Phone 0800 56 76 86 or email info@cvnz.org.nz
