Motu Manawa Kayak Clean Up

Saturday 14 June 2025, 10:30am - 3:00pm

Urban Ark - Manawa Taiao is teaming up with our friends at the Mountains to Sea Conservation Trust for their annual Motu Manawa Kayak Cleanup. They’ll be running the kayaking side of things with two groups (10:30am - 1:00pm & 12:30pm to 3:00pm) heading out to clean up litter from Motu Manawa Pollen Island. Sign up here for this rare, and FREE, opportunity to experience this DOC marine reserve between Pt Chev and the Te Atatu Peninsula.

The kayaking starts and finishes at Pt Chevalier’s Eric Armishaw Reserve, where there will be a chance to contribute to local biodiversity. We’ll be controlling weeds, particularly creepers which are slowly smothering the native species around the park’s wetland. Join us for as long as you like between 9am and 1pm for some gentle weeding and a bit of chat. No experience necesary: we’ll show you want to do.

When Saturday 14 June, 10:30am–3:00pm

Where Eric Armishaw Reserve, 117 Walker Rd, Pt Chevalier

Bring: Gloves and secateurs if you are weeding. We’ll have spares for those who forget theirs.

Group: Pest Free Pt Chevalier
