Last year’s planting day went a long way towards the recovery of Hakanoa Reserve after the previous January’s floods. But there is always more to do. We’ll be adding plants, weeding and mulching where necessary and will also have FREE rat traps and wooden safety boxes availabe for those who want to trap in their back garden. If you already have a safety box and just need a new trap or a bit of advice, drop down for a chat.

Bring – gloves, hat, closed shoes, spade, trowel, water (for you and whanau)

Meet – down by the willow log, in the middle of Hakanoa Reserve, between Sackville st and Hakanoa St, Grey Lynn

Pest Free Point Chev was once very industrious, but over the last year or so there has been a loss of momentum. So if you’re interested in nurturing nature, and you want to help reinvigorate the aims of PFPC, to make Pt Chevalier a more welcoming place for native flora and fauna, have we got news for you!
A short meeting is being held at the end of June to round up some more lively locals who are interested in joining the team. Whether you’re into weeding, planting, pest control or ecological restoration via data collection, there’s something to float every boat.

To get the ball rolling a meeting will be held:
Tuesday 25 June 7.00pm
Upstairs at Waiōrea Community Recycling Centre, 990 Great North Road, Western Springs

Please call if you would like any information, Mary 021 162 5160

There’s plenty of bike parking at the venue. Cars are best parked outside the Western Springs Garden Community Hall, see map
