Heron Park Weeding Bee

Saturday 23 August 2025, 9:30am - 11:30am

Join Urban Ark for a morning spent removing invasive weeds from Heron Park. We’ll start by quickly learning how to identify some pest plants in the area and the harmful impact they have on our native ngahere, then dive into action clearing and cutting weeds. We’ll finish off with some refreshments and chats as thanks for your hard mahi. Please RSVP ahead of time by emailing [Enable JavaScript to view protected content] so we can bring enough tools and food!

Where: Heron Park, meet at Cadman Ave entrance

When: August 23rd, 9:30-11:30am

What to bring: Sturdy boots or gumboots (it may be wet and slippery), weather appropriate clothes, water bottle, your favorite gardening gloves/tools - but don’t worry, we will have extra if you don’t have any!
