We continue to build and maintain a community nursery to grow plants needed for riparian planting on the water ways of the Waipu area and are always on the lookout for volunteers and resources. If you’d like to be involved at any level, please get in touch. Here is where you may help. If you have plastic plant pots that you can donate please drop them to 16 The Braigh Waipu. Do you have any seedlings such as mānuka, kānuka, titoki or other natives we can propagate?
We do a variety of planting projects around the region so if you are keen to get involved we can keep you posted on the dates and locations.
At present a big portion of our planting projects are in the Bream Bay working with farmers and rural landowners to plant new wetland areas as part of our catchments/water quality work.
You have come to the right place to learn about weeds. The most important place to start is to identify the weeds.
