Trelissick Park is a 22 ha strip of native bush which encompasses a beautiful area of hills, stream and native bush below Ngaio Gorge Road. The park is ecologically important as it contains a relatively intact urban stream and is a corridor for bird life. Trelissick Park Group plays a large role in restoring the area. Trelissick Park was once a route for Maori and early Europeans travelling from the harbour to Porirua.
On this day we'll be lending our support to the Trelissick Park Group, a committed group of local people who have been methodically removing weeds and planting in the park for over 15 years. Come along and lend a hand, bring your friends, family, neighbours, all are welcome!
What to wear/bring: Sturdy boots are essential, long sleeves, and long trousers. Ensure you pack warm clothes such as a beanie/hat, jumper and a rain jacket to protect you against wind and rain. Bring a full water bottle and snacks!
What we provide: fully trained team leader/s, gloves, tools and training.
Free transport to and from Wellington City is available (contact us to arrange a pick-up).
