Our aims are to restore Mangaonua to a native-dominated ecosystem and create a pleasant environment for people to visit.
The main work involves using secateurs to remove and cut vines such as honeysuckle and convolvulus, which are overwhelming the native plants. We learn how to identify weeds and native plants and enjoy seeing the growth of the native plants and trees.
Anyone is very welcome to help us, as we work in a range of environments. Our ideal person enjoys nature and likes working with others to learn new skills.
We advise volunteers to wear sunscreen, a hat, long sleeves, long trousers, and sturdy footwear. The main equipment we use are gloves and secateurs; if you do not have these, we can provide them.
Our regular hours are most Thursday mornings from 9 am to 12 pm. We also meet every second and fourth Saturday of the month from 10 am to 12 pm.
People can come on a one-off or regular basis.
