Atiu Creek Weedbusting! 10 -11th April

About this Event

This year we need your help maintaining existing restoration planting sites, combatting invasive pest plants in various parts of the park and ensuring the best outcomes for the young plants put in the ground by our volunteers. This goes to support the health of new sites, enriches existing sites, and goes to support the growing of over 30,000 native plants that will supply the 2025 planting season at Ātiu Creek Regional Park.

Transport from Mount Eden to Ātiu Creek Regional Park and back is provided. Pickup and drop-off from Albany Bus Interchange is available upon request for overnight stay only.

The work is physical, and a reasonable level of fitness is required.

This is an overnight event, where you stay at our accommodation at Ātiu Creek Regional Park – this is dorm style accommodation. Showers and laundry facilities are available. BYO lunch on the first day but all other food is provided. You must be over 18 to attend and no drugs or alcohol are permitted.

At this event, you will learn about the pressures our native species are under, and learn skills transferable to your own gardens and neighborhood so you can be a local weed busting legend.
