About this Event

Friends of Oratau Reserve is a group lead by local residents Pete & Garth. This friendly team started to care for this reserve in February 2019.

Oratau Reserve runs from Orchard reserve, off Almond Grove & out to Lucas Creek. It is an important stream outlet and bird corridor. Friends of Oratau Reserve carryout restoration work (removing pest plants, pest animal control & planting natives). They meet every Wednesday at 9.30 am at the end of Oratau Place, one of the entrances to the reserve.

Activities that you can be involved with:
• Rescuing native plants from weeds
• Preparing sites for native plantings
• Planting native plants

No conservation skills/experience is required – just bring your enthusiasm and willingness to learn.
Whether you’re an individual, a family, or a group of friends, everyone is welcome to lend a helping hand. Join us. Come, get fit, care for our environment, and make some new friends. Together we can make a difference.

University students are welcome to join the group during their holidays.  
Morning tea is provided, but please bring a cold drink, if required.

In the event of bad weather, a note will be placed on the Greenhithe Ecology Network Facebook page and an email to those who have registered.
