Join Greater Wellington for a rewarding afternoon helping restore Battle Hill Farm Forest Park at their community planting day.
Greater Wellington and the Friends of Battle Hill group will be planting in two key areas — the new oak wetland and the airstrip wetland — helping to improve biodiversity and strengthen these important habitats for future generations.
They’ll wrap up the day with a BBQ to celebrate your mahi.
This planting day is perfect for those who enjoy a bit of physical activity as you’ll be carrying plants and digging holes.
What to bring and wear:
Sturdy boots or gumboots
Long sleeves and pants, and a waterproof jacket
Warm layers — a hat or beanie is a good idea
A spare change of clothes (the site can be very exposed)
Your own spade and gloves if you prefer your own
Water bottle and snacks
They’ll provide:
Plants and planting tools
Gloves, but feel free to bring your own
An experienced team leader
Health and safety briefing and support
Hot drinks and a sausage sizzle
Meeting point: The Dell (over the bridge and to the right).
