We engage in a large number of planting events to restore natural habitats. Some of these are undertaken as part of the Urban Forest Plan while others are undertaken with community and volunteers.
To maximise habitat restoration, weeding and maintenance of existing planting areas is also required. You can help with this through assisting at an event, or even adopting a site of your own. Anyone can join in with planting and weeding. Find out how to get involved.
Our biodiversity team can provide advice and expertise on how you or your group can best contribute or even lead ecological restoration efforts in our parks.

Restoration of Ōruapaeroa-Travis Wetland has resulted in 53 species of bird, 700 to 900 invertebrate species, and 80% of pre-European native wetland plants being recorded here.
