Join Christchurch City Council Rangers for planting and maintenance days across the seasons in our unique and stunning Port Hills and Banks Peninsula parks and reserves.
The volunteer programme restores and maintains native forest in designated areas of the Port Hills. Volunteers plant native trees each winter and maintain them in spring and autumn to reduce competition from grass.
Maintenance is the most critical part of ecological restoration success. Without regular maintenance for the first three years, plants wouldn't survive due to grass competition.
Stay tuned for the next event.
On the day, come prepared for all weather and wear sturdy footwear for hill work.
A limited number of hedge clippers and gloves will be provided by the rangers, but feel free to bring your own.
For more information, please contact Fiona Fenton on 027 506 1425 or fiona.fenton@ccc.govt.nz.
Stay tuned for the next event.
