Keen volunteers have another chance at getting their hands dirty this month, with the rescheduling of the community planting day at Te Muri Regional Park on August 14, after the last was cancelled due to wet weather.

Planting is underway at the park in an effort to reduce sediment entering the Mahurangi Harbour, where it smothers shellfish beds among other concerns.

Meet at Puhoi Sports Club carpark, Puhoi Close, Puhoi to get a shuttle to Te Muri Regional Park planting site, or walk in from the Sullivans Bay entrance of Mahurangi Regional Park. Bring gumboots. BBQ lunch and hot drinks provided.

Spaces are limited, so registrations are essential.

Sunday, August 14, 9am to 12pm. If catching the shuttle allow extra time before hand and after – more details when registering: mahurangilandrestoration@aucklandcouncil.govt.nz
