Friends of Awa Matakanakana (FOAM) is holding a special tree planting morning on the Sunday of the Matariki holiday weekend, high in the hills between Warkworth and Matakana.

FOAM spokesperson John Collins says the group has collaborated with a farmer to transform a retired farm valley into a wetland, and will need the community’s help to get nearly 4500 plants into the ground.

The planting day, which is supported by Auckland Council, will be held at 126C Clayden Road from 9am-1pm on Sunday, June 30.
