Melville Park - Native Planting 2026
Wednesday 22 July 2026, 1:00pm - 3:00pm
We’re working to restore a small (and currently rather weedy) hidden part of Melville Park in Epsom. The plan is to replace pest plants with native plant species and provide a wider range of habitat options for native wildlife. We’ve carefully selected plant species which are suitable for the area, which contains patches of critically endangered ‘lava rock forest’. We’d love you to join us!
Please make sure you register here - so we know how much gear and catering to bring!
Bring: Water bottle, sunhat/cap.
Wear: Sturdy closed footwear with good grip (boots ideal).

-Spades and gloves (but feel free to bring your own).
-Refreshments when the mahi is done.
