Kererū Weeders 2027

Saturday 23 January 2027, 9:00am - 11:00am

Join Kererū Weeders for a habitat restoration session – yes, that’s a weeding bee.

Throughout the year we meet once a month at a site in or around Western Springs and along Waitītiko / Meola Creek for a couple of hours of good company and fulfiling activity. Controlling weeds gives our regenerating ngahere a chance to thrive, providing quality habitat for our native species.

  • Bring your favourite gardening gloves and secateurs if you have them, but we’ll also have spare gear you can borrow.
  • Come once, or every month: if you don’t have two hours to spare, just drop in for as long as you can manage.
  • Sometimes there is cake, often there is good chat, and always there are weeds to pull.
