Volunteers are needed for a planting day on Saturday October 8th at Mitchell’s Rd Mudfish Restoration site. You’ll need to get yourselves there, but all equipment is supplied, along with morning tea and lunch!

Te Ara Kakariki are organising the day and all details are included in the registration kit, however, you will need to send an email to register@ kakariki.org.nz to let them know you are coming.

Mitchell’s Rd is a very important restoration site for WET – find out more about the site here.

This planting day is the final phase of the Canterbury Plantout – already this has involved 150 students, staff and parents from Burnham school and over 200 community volunteers in planting 3,800 native plants at 14 different sites.

Mitchell’s Rd is one site that couldn’t be included in the Plantout weekend in September so we’re having another planting day – hope you can make it.
