Takatu LandCare (TLC) and Restore Rodney East are partnering with Warkworth Toyota to plant 800 trees at Takatu on the Tawharanui Peninsula on Friday, August 30.
Toyota customer service and marketing manager Cherryll Thompson says the initiative forms part of a commitment to environmental sustainability and community wellbeing, and highlights Warkworth Toyota’s efforts to “go green” and support local environmental projects.
She says the effort is a great example of how local landowners are working with community and conservation groups to restore native bush areas, protect biodiversity and create healthy habitats for native flora and fauna.
TLC, known for its work in supporting landowners and residents across the Tāwharanui Peninsula, has been instrumental in this project.
The planting day will be at a site off Whitmore Road, and will run from 9.45am to 12.45pm, followed by lunch. Volunteers need to be reasonably fit, as there is a walk to the site, which borders the Matakana River.
Anyone wishing to join in should contact Lyn Hamilton-Hunter on 0210 242 7430 or pestcontrol@takatulandcare.com.
