Are you 14 years and older and want to help restore and protect our native environment?
Forest & Bird Hastings-Havelock North Branch works in partnership with Hawke's Bay Regional Council to restore and enhance the Irongate and Karamu Streams.
This is part of a wider mountain-to-seas project to re-establish habitats that our native animals can travel along and once again thrive in.
The project involves planting and caring for native plants. This work is not hard and of a general nature.
This is a weekend role and is on a monthly basis - you can participate each month, or just when you are available.
Volunteers meet usually on the first Saturday of each month. We meet at 8.20am at 30 Longlands Road EAST, on an orchard down a 300 metre driveway to the end, passing some buildings on the right.
The work is not hard and of a general nature.
We stop for a break at 10.00 and finish well before noon. However, volunteers can leave whenever suits.
During the winter, we plant around 1500 native shrubs and maintain them during the year.
Average fitness, love of outdoors, and helping to restore and protect our native environment.
