Selwyn Bush Community Volunteer Day – cancelled
About this Event
Sorry this event has been cancelled due to the weather. Please contact the Organiser to join another date in the future.
Welcome to Selwyn Bush! The Pourewa Restoration Group has been working in this green space for the last 17 years and would like to introduce you to this vibrant area!
This regenerating native bush sits behind the Barfoot & Thompson Stadium in Kohimarama, within the Pourewa Valley—a unique green corridor just 5 km from Auckland’s city centre. The area is ecologically significant and serves as an important bird corridor linking the Hauraki Gulf islands.
Join us to learn about invasive pest plants and take action with other like-minded people! So grab your gloves to help battle weeds and keep this Auckland native bush thriving, and make a real difference in our local environment!
Where to Meet: We will meet you at the top carpark by the tennis courts at 203 Kohimarama Road to go over Health and Safety before heading down to meet the rest of the team for the day.
What to bring: gloves, sturdy covered shoes, long-sleeved top/trousers, a bottle of water and your own secateurs if you have them! We will have some snacks to share throughout the event. Note: If the Barfoot and Thompson building is not open, the nearest toilet is at Eastridge Shopping Centre.You can visit Pourewa Restoration Group’s website at: https://www.selwynbush.org
